As we conclude the school holidays where students may experimented with different hair styles and jewellery, it is important to remind students that they need to be able to rectify any changes to meet College uniform policy for return to school.
Our uniform policy exists for a range of reasons and is deliberately conservative to minimise pressure for students to adopt the latest trends, and minimise associated expense for parents. Students wearing their uniform correctly indicates respect for self and the community, and aims to promote a sense of connection and belonging. Some key reminders that we will be enforcing at the beginning of 2024 include;
The hair expectation is that there are not to be extreme variations in length, including rats tails, mullets, skullets and undercuts. The photos below are examples of hairstyles that do not meet school expectation.
Piercings: A reminder that on return to school, students must be able to remove additional piercings.
The full uniform policy is available on the College website and we encourage students to check this document to minimise any unnecessary stress at the beginning of the year.
Year 11 & 12 students should bring a 128 page A4 book for each subject, OR loose leaf paper and folder. Most specialist items for each subject are included in the school fees. Stationery items (pens, pencils, highlighters etc) from Year 10 will suffice and teachers will advise any specific requirements on return.
Books and equipment packs are availble through Office Choice - please see the flyer below.
