Assistant Principals' Report
UNIFORM
Thank you to all our students who have been wearing their uniforms correctly and with pride. We are asking for your support in ensuring that students are wearing the correct uniform each day. Our main issues continue to be:
- Students wearing hoodies. This is not a part of our uniform range. Parent notes approving a student wearing a hoodie will not be accepted.
- Students wearing black undershirts that are visible. They may wear HGC outerwear items, such as the rugby jumper/spray jacket or shell jacket with PE, and also woollen jumper/shell jacket or blazer with their academic uniform but should not have a black undershirt visible with their uniform.
- Students are wearing street shoes i.e. Converse or Vans. These do not meet the criteria as a leather lace-up with the academic uniform or the runners that are expected for PE. Nike Air Force shoes are also not appropriate footwear for PE. Please speak to Year Level Leadership if you have any questions.
- Students in PE uniform on Non-PE days. Students in Years 6-10 have designated days for their PE or Sport classes/electives. If they do not have that particular subject, then they should not be in a PE uniform.
Can you please check in with your students about their uniform? Some students will start to be sent home or have harsher consequences for consistently being defiant in wearing the wrong uniform. We are proud of our uniform and must follow guidelines.
YEAR 10 FORMAL
It is with great excitement that we invite all Year 10 students to attend this special evening on Friday 16 August from 7:00 pm at The Manor on High in Epping. The night will include a three-course dinner, a DJ and a photo booth. It provides the opportunity for our students to reflect on the year so far and the connections and relationships they have developed with staff and peers. We look forward to celebrating this evening with you and hope this will be a night to remember!
