Uniform Update and Reminder

The school community expects that students wear their uniform with pride and care, and as representatives of the school, they appear clean and tidy at all times.

Students are expected to wear the uniform as it is described on the College website at: https://www.sje.vic.edu.au/uniform/

When students do not have the correct uniform, their parents/guardians should make contact regarding the uniform item and when it will be rectified. 

Parents/guardians are expected to support the College in implementing the College Uniform Expectations.

Teachers will enforce the school expectations as per this procedure, and should expect that it will not become a source of contention.

When a student is out of uniform, the procedural steps are as follows:

1. Warning/reminder (entered as a tracking on SIMON), letter sent home.
2. Second offence. Learning Mentor to contact home and explain the breach and what needs to be rectified.
3. Student to receive a recess or lunch time detention and home contacted again to inform that the next time the student will need to be collected for the uniform to be rectified.
4. Student to be collected or uniform items delivered to them.

(Students can bring a note from home with an explanation and date when they will be in full school uniform.)
