Students in Years 7 to 10 may wear their sport uniform to school when they are timetabled on sport. However, when students are timetabled for PDHPE practical lessons, they must bring their sport uniform to school and change for that lesson.

The College has a strong commitment to the maintenance of high standards; this includes those of grooming and uniform. How a student wears their uniform gives a clear message about how the student sees themselves and the College. As members of this community all students are expected to wear the uniform with pride, and groom themselves appropriately. The College reserves the right to say what is acceptable in all matters relating to uniform and grooming.

Grooming

• Students are to be neatly and cleanly dressed at all times
• Shoes should be leather school shoes that are clean, polished and well presented
• Nails should be kept clean and neatly trimmed. No nail polish or acrylic nails are to be worn
• Boys must be clean shaven.

Hair

• Hair is to be kept neat and tidy, off the collar, of consistent natural colour, of gradual even grade and all extremes of fashion are to be avoided. Some examples of “styles” that are unacceptable include: ridges, lines, undercuts, rats tails, mullets, steps, bowl cuts, any excessive shaping with gel, and any shaving cuts (1 or 2 grade)
• As a preventative hygiene and safety measure, hair that is longer than shoulder length is to be tied back from the face and out of the eyes. Ribbons, hair slides etc, if worn, should be in the College uniform colours

Hat

• All secondary students during Term 1 and 4 are to wear their sport cap for all practical and sporting activities

College Backpack & Sports Bag

• Students are required to purchase both the College backpack and College Sports Bag from the Uniform Shop
• The College Sports Bag is to be used for all Excursions, Sporting Gala Days, Athletics & Swimming Carnivals, etc

Jewellery

Students may wear:

• Short chains with small religious medals or crosses underneath their uniform
• 1 pair of sleepers or small, plain metal ear studs
• A wristwatch

Students may not wear

• Make up or nail polish
• Friendship wristbands unless supporting a school conducted charity fund-raiser
• Badges other than those issued by the College
• Jewellery or any other facial piercings
• School shoes must be black, polishable, hard leather, lace-up and closed. Laces must also be black. The College has a duty of care to ensure the safety of students and therefore, to reduce the likelihood of foot injuries and trip hazards, styles that are open, buckled and with heels higher than the traditional school shoe are not permitted.

The College will impose consequences on students who choose not to comply with the uniform requirements.
