Uniform

A reminder that our school uniform policy is part of our enrolment agreement and is approved by the P&C.

The following jewellery is permitted at school:

  • studs or small hoop earrings
  • jewellery of personal religious significance.
  • a digital or analogue watch, for timekeeping and step monitoring. Space Watches and Apple watches are not allowed in school, even with ‘school modes’ set.

On cooler days students may wear:

  • maroon zip top with school logo, maroon vest, long sleeve tees, blue or black tights, maroon track pants or bootleg pants.

 Classes 2022

As part of our process for forming classes in 2022, students are given a ‘voice’.  This involves them nominating who they would like to be in a 2022 class with.  

The process is as follows:

  • Students nominate between 3 and 5 friends, on a paper slip. Students are reminded to only write names of students they are happy to work with and not to add a name to fill in a space.
  • Teachers collect and ensure all students have completed a slip.
  • Admin enter the data into a specific software that helps with the creation of classes.
  • Slips are retained by D.P.
  • Students are guaranteed to be in a class with one student from their list.

Parents can discuss with their child/children who they might be writing down, but slips are not sent home; this is the student voice part of our process. 

Students not at school, will have an opportunity to complete the slip when they return to school.

Parents will have an opportunity to add their voice, via an online form, which will be sent out soon.
