Welcome back to a new term of learning. Term 3 is a special part of the year. By this stage, students and teachers have built strong relationships with well-established routines. Learning is truly hitting its stride! There has been a lovely optimism in the air during this our week back and I’m looking forward to seeing this positive momentum continue throughout Semester 2.

As a new term begins and we transition back to College routines after a holiday break, it is a helpful time to remind everyone of our uniform expectations and ensure your child/ren are wearing their uniform correctly.

This includes:

  • Wearing the wide brimmed hat for playtime and the sports cap on Sport or PE days
  • Junior School girls must ensure hair that is shoulder length (touching the shoulder) or longer is tied up using a red or black elastic, and adding only a red scrunchie or ribbon (if desired)
  • Junior School boys have hair that is cut above the collar and out of the eyes
  • No jewellery to be worn except girls are permitted to wear one small pair of earrings in the lower lobe
  • White sports shoes worn on PE or Sports days with the College sports socks
  • Students can wear a watch (not smartwatches)

For our full policy you can use this link and there is also access through the Parent App.

Wearing the correct uniform fosters a sense of pride and belonging within our College community. It encourages students to be a team together and helps eliminate distractions. We are then allowing them to concentrate on the reason we are here, for growing in learning, wisdom and service.

Some elements of our uniform policy are in place with your child’s safety in mind. For example, students are asked not to not wear jewellery or bring valuable accessories that may be lost or damaged during the school day. This not only helps protect their belongings but also minimises potential safety risks during physical activities or play. And wearing the appropriate hat for sport or playtime promotes sun safety.

We understand that from time to time there may be exceptional circumstances. In such cases, we ask that you let your child’s teacher know in advance to discuss the situation.

Wearing the College uniform assists in providing an inclusive community at the College. Thank you for your continued support in helping us uphold the uniform expectations that contribute positively to our school culture.

If you have any questions or would like clarification about any aspect of the uniform policy, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via email to [email protected].
