YEAR 12 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 8

At the moment, many students within the cohort are experiencing the challenges of balancing their studies with their personal and work commitments. During Community PG this week, we spoke about the importance of regular attendance and how people grow stronger when they are exposed to challenges rather than being shielded from them.

When students encounter controlled stresses in a school setting, they develop new skills, and grow in confidence and adaptability. Every student will experience stress during their schooling, and it is important to normalise these experiences, as they provide valuable opportunities to develop resilience, independence and real-world problem-solving skills.

Shoe Guide

At the College, students are required to adhere to the uniform and personal grooming guide. We want to support families, students, and teachers in understanding specific requirements, particularly for sports shoes. We know students are currently wearing shoes in the 'not suitable' section of the graphic below.

To provide clarity, we have listed the main shoes worn by students with their sports uniforms that require fixing and shoes must meet expectations for the start of Term 2. This provides you and your family time to make changes to comply with the uniform guideline outlined in the College Diary under Uniforms: Sport shoes - Low cut, supportive, lace-up, all-purpose shoes for running with a suitable grip. Colour scheme should be discreet. Skate shoes and other flat-soled shoes are not acceptable.

The shoes shown in the graphic below are examples we frequently see; they are not the ONLY shoes not permitted. If you are unsure of the correct shoes, please send a picture or ask your child to speak with the Head of Year for clarification. Uniform infringement consequences will come into play at the commencement of Term 2. We appreciate your support in making it very clear what we expect regarding appropriate footwear at the College.
