Uniform Reminder

As a result of the colder weather we have had increasing issues with students wearing tracksuit pants, hoodies and undershirts. From the beginning of Term 3 we will be running uniform detentions in Break 1 for all students who continue to not follow the uniform code for our school. Any student who fails to attend the detention will then be required to attend an After School Detention; notification of ASD will be via SMS, with date and time. For further clarification of any uniform issues and/or detention please ring the school.

Hooded jumpers are not permitted at all, even under the school jumpers
Students can wear undershirts that are not visible under their school jumpers
Black tailored slacks for girls and boys– no jeans or leggings
Girls can wear thick tights; however, they must have their skirts over the tights at all times
Juniors must wear a navy blue jumper with the school crest or plain navy blue jacket
Seniors must wear a green jumper with the school crest or plain green jacket
On Tuesday for sport students can wear plain black tracksuit pants

We have a wonderful community reputation, which is reinforced constantly with our students displaying their school pride in the correct uniform.
