Uniform Shop and Uniform Guidelines

 

Uniform Guidelines

The correct uniform for both girls and boys in Pre-Kindergarten – Year 6 is detailed below. Students are expected to come to, and leave school dressed smartly in accordance with the guidelines:

 

Pre-Kindergarten – Year 2

  • Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and excursion days: students wear their uniform with striped shirts.
  • Tuesdays and Thursdays: students may wear their coloured House shirts or the striped shirts.
  • Sporting carnival days: students wear their uniform with coloured House shirts, shorts, white College socks and shoes are to be fit for purpose.
  • Terms 1 and 4: students wear College shorts; white College socks and shoes are to be fit for purpose. Sandals may also be worn.
  • Terms 2 and 3: students wear their full tracksuits instead of shorts, and shoes are to be fit for purpose. Sandals are not worn during these terms.
  • Students are required to wear their full tracksuit to and from school.

 

Years 3–6

  • Terms 1 and 4: students wear formal Summer Uniform to school each day. 
  • Terms 2 and 3: students wear formal Winter Uniform to school each day. Winter skirts and Summer dresses are to be worn to the knee. Blazers for Year 5 and 6 and jumpers for Year 3 and 4 are to be worn as students enter and leave the College. 
  • Sport Uniform: Students are permitted to wear their full Sports Uniform on the days they have Sport, Physical Education and Dance. Sport shoes are to be fit for purpose (eg cross trainer or runner) and predominately white, navy or black. Students are required to wear their full tracksuit to and from school on these days. House shirts are to be worn at House events, including carnivals and regular House Sport:
    • Year 3 and 4 House Sport: Wednesday
    • Year 5 and 6 House Sport: Thursday

 

All students are required to have a College hat at school throughout the year. As a Cancer Council SunSmart approved school, sun protective hats (not peaked caps) are compulsory for all Junior School students and must be worn during recess and lunch breaks (peak UV times). Students in Years 5–6 have the additional option of wearing Senior School peaked caps for sporting activities only, such as Physical Education lessons or interschool / interhouse Sport. All items of uniform must be named clearly. The consequence for failure to wear the correct uniform is a note sent home in the Student Diary to remind the parents of the correct uniform. 

 

Hair

Students are expected to have their hair neat and tidy at all times. Hair must be clean and neatly combed. Hair that is collar length or longer must be tied back, with the tie point no further forward than the mid-line of the head. Hair is not to be styled in such a way that it is capable at any time of falling forwards towards the eyes or face. Hair accessories (hair combs, ties, ribbons or elastics) should be of the College pale blue, dark blue or white, or of a natural hair colour.

 

Extremes of cut, style or colour are not permitted. This includes hair that is obviously dyed, undercuts, and where hair is cut to very different lengths within one style. The Director of Junior School and the Assistant Director of Junior School (Wellbeing) have the final decision on what style or colour is considered extreme in the Junior School.

 

Jewellery / Valuables

Students may not wear jewellery of any kind, except the items outlined below:

  • Jewellery is limited to a pair of small plain gold or silver matching studs or sleepers in the ear lobes only, one in each ear.
  • Watches should be conservative in colour. Smart watches, if worn, are not to be used connecting and communicating as a mobile electronic device. If so, they will be locked away as per mobile phones and other valuables as stated below.
  • Students should hand money, valuables and including mobile phones to their class teacher for safekeeping at the start of the day.

 

Students may be sent home from school if they present with additional piercings that cannot be removed at school. Plastic retainers or other spacers are not permitted.

Out of School Hours Care (OSHC)

 

The College welcomes 3–12-year-old children (Pre-Kindergarten – Year 6) to our Out of School Hours Care (OSHC). The centre is open every day of term time for Before-School Care (7.00am–8.45am) and After-School Care (3.00pm–6.00pm), and for Vacation Care (7.00am–6.00pm) in school holidays.

 

The OSHC Coordinator is in charge and is assisted by OSHC educators. The program provides a balance of organised and free activities, both indoor and outdoor. Students are able to complete their homework or attend cocurricular activities and swimming lessons while attending Out of School Hours Care. More details can be found on our website: Do you have an Out of School Hours Program (OSH)? | FAQs - All Saints' College

 

Enrolment Process for OSHC

Children can be enrolled in our Out of School Hours Care service by completing an online enrolment with Xplor by clicking HERE. This places your child on the register for this service. You will be sent an invite to set up your login details. Once the enrolment has been accepted, the Xplor Home App can be downloaded from the App Store to assist with contactless signing in and out. Bookings can be requested through the app.

 

It is essential to include all relevant information about your child on this registration, as this information is held separately from their school enrolment data.

 

For an immediate new enrolment for the current day, please email OSHC on oshc@allsaints.wa.edu.au or call OSHC on 93134 9337 for this to be arranged manually.

 

Health Centre

The College has a purpose-built Health Centre which is located on the Junior School campus. This centre is managed by two part-time Registered Nurses, who provide first aid care for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12.

 

A detailed Accident / Incident report will be completed for all situations resulting in injury, or for other situations requiring investigation or a parent interview, eg where a student complains of serious illness or feeling unwell over time. 

 

If your child becomes unwell, every effort will be made to contact you or the nominated Emergency Contact. Should your child become unwell at school, they will need to be collected promptly, so as not to spread the illness. Please keep your child home if they are unwell. They should be fully recovered before returning to school to avoid infecting other students and staff. Should your child need to complete a course of medicine on their return to school, this should be taken to the Health Centre to be administered. Classroom staff will not administer any medication.

 

Please notify the College if your child has one of the following diseases, so that the College community can be alerted and take the necessary precautions: influenza, chicken pox, mumps, rubella, head lice, conjunctivitis, ring worm, hand foot and mouth disease, impetigo (school sores) and Covid-19.

 

Emergency Medication

If your child requires an EpiPen to be administered, you must complete an Anaphylaxis Care Plan with Health Centre staff each school year and provide a current EpiPen to be kept at the College. All other non-life-threatening allergies will be recorded in the student’s medical file.

 

If your child suffers from asthma, please supply ventolin and a spacer to be kept at the College. When dealing with an acute asthma attack, All Saints’ staff will follow the guidelines established by the Asthma Foundation of WA.

 

Regular Medication

Health Centre staff will dispense regular, ongoing, and emergency medication. If your child requires medication at school, you are required to provide written documentation from the prescribing Doctor outlining the medication and dosage. All medication is to be supplied in its original container with the student’s name on it and is kept in the Health Centre.

 

Panadol, Nurofen or antihistamines will be administered if prior consent has been given on the Student Health Emergency Contact and Consent form.

 

Please contact the College Nurses via the Health Centre on 9313 9326 or email via health.centre@allsaints.wa.edu.au if you have any concerns regarding the health of your child.

 

Please note: At the beginning of the year, you will receive an email from the College prompting you to update your child’s medical details and personal information, and to provide consent for your child to attend incursions/excursions during the year.

 

Dental Care

If you have or are entitled to a Medicare card, children from Pre-Primary upwards may be registered to receive free dental treatment at the Willetton Dental Therapy Centre for the duration of their time at the College.

 

If you wish to take advantage of this service, contact the Willetton Dental Therapy Centre on 9457 4624. You will be notified by the Centre when your child is to attend for an appointment.

Canteen

The College Canteen is open Monday – Friday for our Pre-Primary – Year 6 families.

 

Students in Year 3 and above are permitted to visit the Canteen at the following times:

Year 3: Lunch time only

Year 4: Recess and lunch time

Year 5: Recess and lunch time

Year 6: Recess and lunch time

 

Please note that service for students closes 5 minutes prior to the end of recess / lunch to ensure enough time to eat and move back to class.

 

All pre-ordered lunches for all classes are delivered to the classroom for the lunch break.

 

Our Online Canteen is the preferred option. It is safe and easy to use. 

 

Students will need a Swype account to be able to use their current Student ID Card to purchase food. Students who travel to the College using Horizons West buses will already have an account that can be used for Swype also.

The Student ID card will be presented to a card reader once food has been selected, and the corresponding funds will be deducted from accounts, in the same way bus travel is. For those students who do not have a Student ID card to purchase items, Canteen staff will manually search them in the All Saints’ College system and this amount will be allocated to the student’s Swype Account.

Full details on Swype are available in the How to Guide. Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions at the back of the How to Guide.

Click on the Swype login link or go to www.horizonswest.com.au/Swype to login and load funds.

 

Details:

  • Parents will be able to add funds to their child’s account via Swype login
  • Parents will have a record of food purchased in the Canteen and can limit daily spend.

Can you help in the Canteen?

The Canteen is always in need of an extra pair of hands. Enthusiasm is all that is required to be a part of our community.

 

We would be delighted to hear from you if you can volunteer any time on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.

Nut Aware Policy

A number of students in the Junior School have severe, life-threatening allergies to nuts which may cause anaphylactic shock through eating and/or touching these foods. Shared cooking utensils, skin-to-skin contact and, in some instances, even the breath of another person who has eaten nuts can lead to a fatality.

 

As a consequence, we ask you to refrain from sending food products containing nuts or peanuts (eg peanut butter or muesli bars containing nuts) to school.

The Canteen does not serve items containing nuts or peanuts to Junior or Senior School students.
