Uniform

Here at Staughton College we take pride in the appearance of our students, and the college uniform when worn correctly, is a smart neat look. Our uniform and student behaviour are the first line of recognition for the college in the community, and we want our students to portray a high level of compliance in both.

It is with this in mind that we take this opportunity to thank the parents of the vast majority of students who comply fully with the College uniform policy.

Whilst at school, and including the movement to and from school, it is expected that students wear the correct full school uniform.

This policy is generally well supported by students and their families however, there are a small minority of students who at times choose not to comply.

Common issues we are faced with can include:

For Boys

Incorrect shoes
Non Staughton branded school pants/shorts
Visible undergarments
Non Staughton branded headwear such as hats and beanies
Staughton Fleece Jacket (Now replaced by a Staughton soft shell jacket)

For Girls

Incorrect shoes
Incorrect hosiery (Black leggings, black/blue stockings rather than navy blue opaque tights & coloured socks rather than white)
Visible undergarments
Non Staughton branded scarves
Staughton Fleece Jacket (Now replaced by a Staughton soft shell jacket)

The Student Operation Team and staff understand that there may be some rare instances when it is difficult for a student to wear their full school uniform. There is a Staged Response system in place for such occasions, however it is most important that students comply fully with the uniform policy whenever they can.

The Student Operation Team believes strongly that wearing the full school uniform improves school safety and creates a sense of belonging. So that we are able to continue to achieve this in 2016, the College is taking this opportunity to inform all families that as of the start of semester two, students consistently presenting in incorrect uniform will be put through the Uniform Process and will be unable to return to school until the correct uniform has been sourced and complied with.

Once again we take this opportunity to thank the vast majority of students, parents and families who fully support and comply with the school uniform policy. We encourage everybody to plan carefully for Term 3 so that the start of the new semester can be as smooth as possible. Should there be any concerns please contact your relevant Year Level Co-ordinator.

With thanks
