Uniform Shop and Uniform Guidlines

The correct uniform for both girls and boys in Pre-Kindergarten – Year 6 is detailed below. Students are expected to come to school dressed smartly in accordance with the guidelines:

PRE-KINDERGARTEN – YEAR 2

Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and excursion days: students wear their uniform with striped shirts.
Tuesdays and Thursdays: students may wear their coloured House shirts or the striped shirts.
Sporting carnival days: students wear their uniform with coloured House shirts, shorts, white College socks and predominantly white sports shoes.
Terms 1 and 4: students wear College shorts, white College socks and predominantly white sports shoes or blue school sandals.
Terms 2 and 3: students wear their full tracksuits instead of shorts, and predominantly white sports shoes (sandals are not worn).

YEARS 3 – 6

Terms 1 and 4: students wear formal Summer Uniform to school each day. They are permitted to wear their full Sports Uniform on the days they have Sport. House shirts are to be worn on days they have House Sport.
Terms 2 and 3: students wear formal Winter Uniform to school each day. They are permitted to wear their full Sports Uniform on the days they have Sport. Students are required to wear their full tracksuit to and from school on these days.

All students are required to have a College hat at school throughout the year. As a Cancer Council SunSmart approved school, sun protective hats (not peaked caps) are compulsory for all Junior School students and must be worn during recess and lunch breaks (peak UV times). Students in Year 5 and 6 have the additional option of wearing Senior School peaked caps for sporting activities only, such as Physical Education lessons or interschool/interhouse Sport. All items of uniform must be named clearly. The consequence for failure to wear the correct uniform is a note sent home in the Student Diary to remind the parents of the correct uniform. In a case of repeated failure to wear the correct uniform, the correct uniform will be purchased and parents billed for the item(s).

HAIR

Students are expected to have their hair neat and tidy at all times. Hair must be clean and neatly combed. Hair that is collar length or longer must be tied back, with the tie point no further forward than the mid-line of the head. Hair is not to be styled in such a way that it is capable at any time of falling forwards towards the eyes or face. Hair accessories (hair combs, ties, ribbons or elastics) should be of the College pale blue, dark blue or white, or of a natural hair colour.

Extremes of cut, style or colour are not permitted. This includes hair that is obviously dyed, undercuts, and where hair is cut to very different lengths within one style. The Dean of Junior School and the Assistant Dean of Junior School (Wellbeing) have the final decision on what style or colour is considered extreme in the Junior School.

COLLEGE BLAZERS AND BATHERS

College blazers are required for students in Years 5 and 6. College bathers are required for all students in Years 3–6.

JEWELLERY AND VALUABLES

Students may not wear jewellery of any kind, except the items outlined below:

Boys may wear a neutral-toned wristwatch. No other jewellery is permitted.
Girls may wear a neutral-toned wristwatch, and one pair of small plain gold or silver matching studs or sleepers in the ear lobes only, one in each ear.
Students in the Junior School are not permitted to wear ‘smart watches’ during the school day that have the capability of connecting and communicating as a mobile electronic devices.

Students should hand money, valuables or mobile phones to their class teacher for safekeeping.

Students may be sent home from school if they present with additional piercings that cannot be removed at school. Plastic retainers or other spacers are not permitted.

Cocurricular Activities

The College’s extensive cocurricular program runs either before or after school throughout the week and caters for the varying interests and talents of our students. Full details of the activities available are forwarded to parents via SEQTA towards the end of each preceding term. Students are encouraged to choose their preferred activity carefully and are expected to make a commitment for the duration of the activity.

Cocurricular activities are not available for Pre-Kindergarten to Pre-Primary students, and limited activities are available for Year 1 and Year 2 students. In the early years of schooling, the full day at school is often enough for the child to manage happily. As they grow and mature, they are ready for more challenges whilst maintaining a balance between self-determined choices of free activity, homework and organised activity.

Learn-to-Swim Program

Learn-to-Swim lessons are available for children from four-years-old upwards at the Aquatic Centre. Lessons are held every afternoon after school and on Saturday mornings. Children attending Out of School Hours Care will be taken and collected from the Aquatic Centre by one of the program leaders. Further information is available by phoning 9313 9386.

Individual Music Lessons

Individual Music lessons, including Suzuki Strings lessons for Kindergarten – Year 2 students, are offered. Detailed information is available from the Music Department by phoning 9313 9397.

Out of School Hours Care (OSHC)

The College welcomes 3–12-year-old children (Pre-Kindergarten – Year 6) to our Out of School Hours Care (OSHC). The centre is open every day of term time for Before School Care (7.00am–8.45am) and After School Care (3.00pm–6.00pm), and for Vacation Care (7.00am–6.00pm) in school holidays.

A fully qualified Coordinator is in charge and is assisted by OSHC educators. The program provides a balance of organised and free activities, both indoor and outdoor. Students are able to complete their homework or attend cocurricular activities and swimming lessons while attending Out of School Hours Care. More details can be found on our website: www.allsaints.wa.edu.au/community/out-of-school-hours-care

All Saints’ College OSHC Philosophy

OSHC aims to provide a safe and engaging environment where children feel welcome and valued. We endeavour to offer a dynamic and stimulating program that fosters positive relationships and student wellbeing. We encourage children to make their own choices and decisions by providing a range of play-based activities and areas for quiet and creative activities. At OSHC we are dedicated to providing active care and building strong, effective relationships with children, parents and the community.

Staff

The OSHC Coordinator and Educators all have Working with Children clearances and are either fully qualified or working towards an education or child development related qualification. At all times there is at least one staff member present with a Senior First Aid Certificate, Anaphylaxis Training, Emergency Asthma Management and Basic Emergency Life Support.

Location

The OSHC Centre is located in the All Saints’ College Early Childhood Centre adjoining the Year 2 classrooms. Parents can access the Centre from Gate 1. OSHC has use of many of the College facilities, including the playgrounds and oval.

Enrolment Process for OSHC

To enrol your child, log on to https://allsaintsoshc.hubworks.com.au/ and click on ‘Register’. This places your child on the register for the service. You will be sent a confirmation email containing your personal login and password once the enrolment has been accepted. It is essential to include all relevant information about your child on this registration, as this information is held separately from their school enrolment data.

For an immediate new enrolment for the current day, email OSHC on oshc@allsaints.wa.edu.au or call OSHC on 9313 9337 for this to be arranged manually.

Health Centre

The College has a purpose-built Health Centre which is located on the Junior School campus. This centre is managed by two part time Registered Nurses, who provide first aid care for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 and staff.

All minor injuries or illnesses will be recorded in the Student Diary. A detailed Accident/Incident report will be completed for all situations resulting in injury, or for other situations requiring investigation or a parent interview, eg where a student complains of serious illness or feeling unwell over time.

If your child becomes unwell, every effort will be made to contact you or the named Emergency Contact. Should your child become unwell at school, they will need to be collected promptly, so as not to spread the illness. Please keep your child home if they are unwell. They should be fully recovered before returning to school to avoid infecting other students and staff. Should your child need to complete a course of medicine on their return to school, this should be taken to the Health Centre to be administered. Classroom staff will not administer any medication.

Please notify the College if your child has one of the following diseases, so that the College community can be alerted and take the necessary precautions: influenza, chicken pox, mumps, rubella, head lice, conjunctivitis, ring worm, hand foot and mouth disease, impetigo (school sores).

If your child requires an epipen to be administered, you must complete an Anaphylaxis Care Plan with Health Centre staff each school year and provide a current epipen to be kept at the College. All other non-life-threatening allergies will be recorded in the student’s medical file.

If your child suffers from asthma, please supply ventolin and a spacer to be kept at the College. When dealing with an acute asthma attack, All Saints’ staff will follow the guidelines established by the Asthma Foundation of WA.

The Health Centre staff will dispense regular, ongoing and emergency medication. If your child requires medication at school, you are required to provide written documentation from the prescribing Doctor outlining the medication and dosage. All medication is to be supplied in its original container with the student’s name on it, and is kept in the Health Centre.

Panadol, Nurofen or antihistamines will be administered if prior consent has been given on the Student Health Emergency Contact and Consent form.

Please contact the College Nurses via the Health Centre on 9313 9326 or email via health.centre@allsaints.wa.edu.au if you have any concerns regarding the health of your child.

Please note: At the beginning of the year you will receive an email from the College prompting you to update your child’s medical details and personal information, and to provide consent for your child to attend incursions/excursions during the year.

Dental Care

If you have or are entitled to a Medicare card, children from Pre-Primary upwards may be registered to receive free dental treatment at the Willetton Dental Therapy Centre for the duration of their time at the College.

If you wish to take advantage of this service, contact the Willetton Dental Therapy Centre on 9457 4624. You will be notified by the Centre when your child is to attend for an appointment.

Canteen

The College Canteen is open from 7.30am, Monday to Friday and operates on a not-for-profit basis. It is available for all families from Pre-Primary upwards.

Students in Year 3 and above are permitted to visit the Canteen at the following times:

Please note that the service for students closes 5 minutes prior to the end of recess/lunch to ensure enough time to eat and move back to class.

You can process your Canteen order online

The preferred and most accurate option for ordering your child’s lunch is to use the online system. Leaflets on how to register are also available from the class lunch basket or the Canteen. Lunch orders can also be placed in the basket in the classroom each morning. Please note: food is not available to be pre-ordered from the Canteen at Recess time.

Please note: There is a special menu for Pre-Primary students which allows for flexibility of collection to meet the needs of the children, with smaller portion sizes to reduce food wastage while providing a healthy food service for families.

Our Online Canteen is safe and easy to use, giving the Canteen a greater level of control over orders placed.

Can you help in the Canteen?

The Canteen is always in need of an extra pair of hands. Enthusiasm is all that is required to be a part of our community.

We would be delighted to hear from you if you can volunteer any time on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.

Please feel free to visit the Canteen or contact the Canteen Manager, Mr Colin Lynn:

colin.lynn@allsaints.wa.edu.au or 9310 1470 between 7.30am and 2.30pm, Monday to Friday.

Nut Policy

A number of children in the Junior School have severe, life-threatening allergies to nuts, which may cause anaphylactic shock through eating and/or touching these foods. Shared cooking utensils, skin to skin contact and, in some instances, even the breath of another person having eaten nuts can lead to a fatality.

As a consequence, we ask you to refrain from sending food products containing nuts or peanuts (eg peanut butter or muesli bars containing nuts) to school.

The Canteen does not serve items containing nuts or peanuts to Junior or Senior School students.
