Uniform Policy

The Student Operations 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 into the future, the College is taking this opportunity to inform and remind all families that 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.

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, on school excursion 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
Non-compliant jackets & hoodies

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
Non-compliant Jackets & hoodies

The Student Operations 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.

In the rare event that a child is unable to wear correct uniform, a note must be provided, stating the reason and time frame of non-compliance.

Students who are repeatedly out of uniform without a note will be sent home due to non-compliance.

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 so the end of the current year and start of the new school year can be as smooth as possible.

Should there be any concerns please contact your relevant Year Level Coordinator.
