A Word with HOD Student Services

Uniforms

The uniforms to start 2026 have been generally excellent. A reminder to all parents and students, if you are out of uniform for any reason you must bring a note from home to the office before school to get a uniform pass. By bringing a note from home students avoid receiving a detention. Detentions are given to students who don’t bring notes or who don’t get uniform passes.

A reminder about some parts of the uniform, jewellery should be kept to a minimum as should makeup. Non-school caps are also not part of the uniform and wearing one may result in an automatic detention.

Laptops and Damage

We kindly remind parents and guardians that if a student's school laptop is damaged (especially if another student may be involved) it’s important that the incident is reported to the school as soon as possible.

Prompt reporting helps us investigate effectively and ensures that any financial responsibility for the damage can be properly assigned. Unfortunately, if damage is reported a week, or in some cases a month after it occurs, it becomes very difficult to determine who was responsible. In these cases, the cost may fall to the student the device was assigned to, even if they weren’t at fault.

Please report any damage as soon as possible.
