From the Assistant Principals

Student Appearance

Our uniform seeks to contribute to enhance the profile and identity of the school and its students within the wider community.  In order that our school continues to be held in high esteem we ask that you support the College by ensuring that all students have the correct college uniform and that they are adhering to the school’s uniform policy.

Hair

• Hair styles should not be extreme. This relates to cut, colouring and length.
• If hair is coloured it must be a natural hue.
• Facial hair is not permitted and students are expected to be clean shaven at all times.

Jewellery and makeup

• The only jewellery permitted is:  
  • Two pairs of earrings (surgical sleepers or studs) in the ears only. These must be plain gold or silver (no colours). Maximum diameter of stud is 3mm. Maximum diameter of sleeper is 10mm. No other piercings are permitted.
  • Watch
• Any other jewellery is not to be visible.
• Makeup and coloured nail polish are not part of the uniform and must not be worn. Natural coloured foundation with SPF is the only permissible makeup.
• Nails must be of a reasonable length to participate in the curriculum safely.

Mobile Phones

Glen Eira College understands that students may bring a mobile phone to school, particularly if they are travelling independently to and from school or to extra-curricular activities.

While at school, in the buildings or outside on the grounds, at anytime prior to the end of the school day phones must be switched off and locked securely in the student’s locker. After the end of the school day (after 3.07pm) students may access their phones as long as they are not in the school building.

Students who use their mobile phone in breach of this policy will have their phone confiscated and stored securely at the General Office. Parents and students needing to communicate with each other during the day can do so through the General Office.
