Full black leather shoes are required to be worn with the formal uniform whilst plain black fabric sports shoes are permitted with the sports uniform. Black leather sports shoes can provide a single shoe solution which can be worn with both the sports and formal uniform and which meet WH & S requirements in laboratories, workshops and kitchens.

Hats

We still have a large number of hats in lost property.

Students must wear the appropriate hat every time they are outside a classroom. Students without hats or other items of uniform that are not explained by a parent/guardian, will receive a 20-minute detention.

Students, out of uniform must report to Student Services before school with an explanation from parent/guardian in order to be issued with an uniform variation slip and to not be issued with a detention.

Please ensure all items of your child’s school uniform are clearly labelled with their name so items can be easily identified and returned to them.

Please be reminded that our Student Code of Conduct – Appearance Policy states:

 Jewellery

• Two (2) pairs of plain studs or sleepers worn in the lower lobe of the ear

Any item of approved jewellery may  still  be  required  to  be  removed  in  subjects  or activities for safety reasons under Workplace Health and Safety legislation.
