Student Dress Code

At McGuire College all students are expected to be in full school uniform each day.  Please refer to the student dress code listed below.  

 

Rationale or Purpose

We believe that the student dress code fosters a sense of identification and pride, minimises fashion competition between students, promotes the school image and provides a practical and less expensive form of clothing than other alternatives. 

 

Policy Statement

McGuire College requires that all students in Years 7-12 comply with the dress code at school and while travelling to and from school. All items of clothing need to be named for identification purposes.

The Physical Education and Sports Policy at McGuire College states “students should wear a sports uniform in physical education classes where personal hygiene and safety are important considerations.”  Students are required to wear the official Sport and P.E. uniform to all inter-school competitive sporting events, unless an official team uniform is provided.  All items of uniform will be in accordance with the policy of College Council.
