Uniform Overview

The College uniform identifies students as a member of 818³Ô¹Ï. Neat and tidy, correct uniform should be worn each day. If uniform is not worn correctly or on correct days, relevant consequences will apply, which may include the student being sent home.

College uniform should be worn in this way when in the public forum including shopping centres and transport. Students who do not wear the correct uniform to or from school will be placed on Afternoon Reflection.

Where a student is wearing the incorrect uniform to school:

1. Parents/guardians are reminded that a written explanation is required if their child is not in correct uniform.
2. These notes should be addressed to the Year Level Coordinator and handed in by the student prior to the commencement of school.
3. Acceptable instances will result in a uniform pass being issued.

Requests from parents/guardians to have their child exempt from wearing correct uniform for longer than one week will be referred to the Year Level Coordinator for consideration.

Year Level Coordinators are responsible for the day to day interpretation and administration of the rules relating to uniform. Application for modifications to uniform can be made to the College and determinations are made on a case by case basis.

• Sports jackets and Senior Jerseys are only to be worn with sports uniform, unless in the case of the jersey, special mandated days are permitted.
