Uniform Reminders

As we move into another Term and the cooler months, it is a good time ensure that the College unform is being worn correctly. Wearing full school uniform is compulsory.

⦁ There should be no other pieces of clothing that can be seen, such as long sleeve undershirts, worn with the uniform.
⦁ It is important that all students wear our uniform correctly. If, for any reason, a student is unable to be in the correct school uniform they must have a note written and signed by their parent/carer explaining the problem and the expected day when the student will be back in full uniform.  It is expected that this will be for only a short period of time.
⦁ All students should be in academic uniform on a Wednesday and on any other day they do not have a practical lesson (eg sport or practical science or tech lesson).
⦁ Year 11 and 12 must wear a tie with their academic uniform in Terms 2 and 3. Ties are optional in Terms 1 and 4.

Some key accessory items and other uniform expectations to be aware of (further items and explanation can be found in the Uniform policy on Compass)

Jewellery
⦁ Up to two small plain studs in each ear (only).  A total of 2 studs/sleepers combined per ear. No pearls or similar. 
⦁ One small plain ring may be worn per student (not per hand).
