It is recognized that there is a diversity of opinion in society as to what constitutes suitable dress for school activities. In addition, standards of dress may differ somewhat among schools, depending on the varying standards of communities.

Standards

1(1) The principal or designate is encouraged to co-operate with parents and students in the development
of standards of dress and grooming.
(2) The criteria to be used should include standards which will encourage:
(a) the cleanliness, neatness, and generally positive attitudes;
(b) appropriateness for the particular activity; and
(c) safety in all activities.
(3) The principal or designate is responsible for ensuring that standards of dress and grooming are
developed using the following guidelines for all students:
(a) appropriate clothing suitable for indoor wear,
(b) suitable footwear,
(c) special physical education clothing as required,
(d) special protective clothing in shops as required,
(e) hair that is neat and well-groomed and does not represent a hazard in work areas, and
(f) appropriate make up.
(4) Students may wear faith-based jewellery, objects and articles of clothing at school and during school
sponsored activities, as long as they are worn discretely, do not have a proselytising message, and meet
the standards of this regulation.

Physical Education Clothing

Students are required to wear appropriate clothing for each activity. Failure to bring the correct clothing may result in the student being excluded from the class activity and being provided with an alternative activity. Students who habitually come unprepared will lose participation marks.
