College Uniform

STUDENT APPEARANCE

St Bede’s College expects every student to be in correct school uniform for the entire school year.  It is not acceptable for boys to wear a uniform that is torn, tattered or suffering from serious neglect. Non-uniform items such as hooded tops or jackets are not permitted. We also ask that visible T-Shirts not be worn under the summer uniform shirt.

Students are expected to be clean shaven, beards and moustaches are not permitted. Hair length must not fall below the shirt collar and more extreme fashions such as dreadlocks, plaits, pony-tails, bleached or dyed hair are not acceptable. Under no circumstances are students permitted to wear earrings, eyebrow rings or decorative facial piercing of any type whilst in the St Bede’s College uniform.

(Please Note:  If students choose to wear the long sleeve shirt they must wear the College tie and trousers.)

Hats:  Students are encouraged to wear a school hat as a form of protection from the sun.  School hats may be purchased via the uniform shop.  They may be worn to and from school, during recess and lunch and during all outdoor activities. (No other hat may be worn with the school uniform)
