Students who are persistently out of uniform may be subject to an after school detention.
Out of Uniform
It is recognised that, on occasion, a student may be unable to wear some parts of or the entire correct uniform. Notes from parents indicating the reason must be given to the Principal, the Head Teacher Administration or Stage Leaders before school to receive a uniform ‘pass'. A red uniform pass will be issued to the student and must be shown to any teacher, on request, during the day. Failure to follow these procedures will result in detention. If there is a longer term issue parents should notify the school directly, asking to speak to the Principal, one of the Stage Leaders or the Head Teacher Student Wellbeing so that an appropriate solution can be found.
