Dear Parents and Guardians, 

 

As we approach the conclusion of another successful school year, we want to extend our thanks and gratitude for your ongoing commitment to ensuring our students consistently adhere to the College uniform standards.  

 

Looking ahead to the 2024 school year, we would like to inform you about some minor changes to the uniform policy regarding jewellery, which we would appreciate your assistance with implementing from Term 1, 2024.  

 

Our College has always requested jewellery to be discreet, meaning not particularly noticeable, however, the interpretation of this is very individual. As such, we have sought to be clear on the requirements.  

 

From Term 1, 2024, jewellery will be limited to: 

  • One watch. 
  • One simple silver or gold necklace, with a religious medallion or cross only, worn under the College uniform; it is not to be visible. 
  • One small silver or gold sleeper/stud in each earlobe only, no larger than 5 mm.
  • Visible piercings other than earrings, as described above, must be removed while in school uniform, this includes clear or thin coloured piercings. 
  • Rings, bracelets or any other form of jewellery is not to be worn while in school uniforms.   

Correctly wearing the uniform and ensuring modest but high standards of personal grooming demonstrates pride in our College, respect for oneself, and respect for others. It is the responsibility of every parent/carer and student to ensure that the College is represented well within our community and to adhere to uniform expectations. 

 

We thank all parents and carers for continuing to work in partnership with the College as we strive to exceed expectations.  

 

Should you wish to discuss the changes noted above, please reach out at any time.   

 

Enjoy the Christmas break and take time to rest, rejuvenate, and reset ahead of the 2024 school year.   

  

God bless,

Kerry
