UNIFORM REMINDER

We encourage students to demonstrate a strong sense of pride and responsibility through their presentation of the school uniform. This includes wearing the correct uniform at all times in a neat and tidy manner. A reminder to parents and guardians that;

● Hair that is longer than shoulder length (boys and girls) must be tied back at all times with green, gold or natural coloured hair ties, ribbons or scrunchies. 

● Hair colouring of any kind is not permitted without explicit permission from the Principal.

● Jewellery is not permitted with the exception of a watch, medical bracelet, a necklace with a small cross or crucifix and plain studs or sleeper earrings - maximum of two per ear (girls only). 

● Black leather shoes are required to be worn with the school uniform and sports shoes with the sports uniform. 

** In the event of needing to wear an alternate uniform, parents and carers must provide a note explaining the circumstances to the school. This can be a written note to the teacher or an email to the School Office.
