Uniform Policy and Shops #
It is the desire of the College to create a Uniform Policy that is hospitable to students, whilst upholding the school’s expectations for neat and respectful dress.
We encourage all students and parents to carefully read the updated Uniform Policy and the accompanying Uniform Manual to ensure a clear understanding of the current dress standards and expectations.
Please refer to the Uniform Policy.
These documents serve as essential guides that support our distinct school culture. Staff will be encouraged to give students friendly, verbal reminders of the uniform expectations. If a student does not comply, parents will receive notifications from the teacher via Connect. We greatly value your partnership in upholding these expectations at home and following up promptly on uniform notices. While the Uniform Policy has been updated to be clearer and more accommodating, the expectation remains that students abide by the uniform standards and expectations.
Our Uniform Policy will remain a live document, evolving through ongoing dialogue among students, families, and staff. We welcome your feedback and look forward to continuing these conversations together.
