School Uniform

Classroom teachers are finding many students are not adhering to our school uniform policy. In particular students need to be reminded about the following:

• Nail polish/make up is not to be worn. Students who present at school with nail polish on will be asked to remove it by the next school day 
• Long hair must be tied back 
• Hair must be of natural colour and style as deemed appropriate by the principal  
• Hair ribbons and for girls are to be natural or school colours only i.e. blue, maroon
• Runners or track shoes are to be worn with Physical Education uniform only 
• Black School Shoes (not runners) are to be worn

Parents could you please ensure students are wearing correct uniform. Beginning term 4 summer uniform, hat and sunglasses are compulsory for playtimes.
