Uniform Expectations

The College has a Student Dress Code which requires all students to be in regulation uniform both while at the College and while travelling to and from the College. The College expects parents/carers to support this policy. 

 

Dobsons operates a uniform shop on-site and also provides an online service. Uniform enquiries are to be directed to the Sub-School Coordinators or to the Uniform Shop Manager on 9871 0404.

 

All students must comply with this uniform code.

GENERAL APPEARANCE
  • Uniforms must be well-presented and in good repair.
  • Hair colour must be in natural tones. Shoulder length or longer hair is to be tied back for student safety in technology and practical subjects.
  • Two earrings in each ear are allowed, but must be removed when required for safety or participation in specific activities. Earrings must be limited to small studs or sleepers. Large hoop earrings and spacers are not permitted.
  • One nose piercing is allowed, restricted to a clear or stud retainer. Sleepers and other facial piercings are not permitted. *NB: Students considering a nose piercing are encouraged to have it done during the summer holiday period to allow sufficient healing time, so that a clear or stud retainer can be worn upon return to school in line with these dress code guidelines.
  • Facial hair must be neatly groomed and well-trimmed at all times.
  • Tattoos must be fully covered at all times by an appropriate uniform item or by tape, make up or sleeves in a natural skin tone where necessary.
  • Plain black caps or bucket hats and sunglasses are permitted during outdoor activities (not inside). Sunglasses should be close-fitting, wrap-around that meet the Australian Standards 1067 and cover as much of the eye area as possible. 
  • The college soft-shell jacket with school logo can be worn during classes; however, it must be removed for practical technology subjects when requested by a member of staff.
