Uniform
All students are expected to wear full uniform. The wearing of the uniform and personal presentation is a valuable factor in reinforcing College values. It promotes a sense of identity with the College and quality for students.
A number of items are regulation, meaning that the style, fabric or manufacture, has been determined by the College Council. The main uniform supplier is the Pakenham Secondary College Uniform Shop located on site.
Uniform Pass
If a student is out of uniform they need to bring a note from their parent or guardian explaining why they are out of uniform. This note should be given to the Team Leader or Sub-School Leader before the start of the day where they will receive a uniform pass for the day. Students who are out of uniform without a pass or who fail to provide an acceptable reason for being out of uniform will attract a consequence. These consequences may include:
- Being asked to get parental permission to return home to change.
- Withdrawal from timetabled classes.
- More serious consequences will apply to students who repeatedly wear the incorrect uniform and deliberately break the College uniform regulations.
Students are NOT permitted to wear hooded jackets/hoodies at any time during class or in the school yard. Uniform passes will not be given for these items.
