Process for Approval of Non-Regulation Uniform & Items
1. When a student arrives at school, and they are wearing a non-regulation uniform item, they must report to the Deputy/Assistant Principal and present a note from their parent or caregiver.
2. The Deputy/Assistant Principal will issue a uniform pass if appropriate for a specific period of time.
4. Non-regulation uniform items with no parent note:
a. First offence – the uniform item will be confiscated for the day and if necessary, an item of uniform will be given to wear from the second hand Uniform supply.
b. Second offence – as per first offence
c. Third offence – parents will be contacted and asked to meet the Deputy Principal with their child. If appropriate, the item will be confiscated to the end of the term.
