  Reminder to all students:

Grooming guidelines and expectations:

• Jewellery shall be limited to one watch and up to two stud or sleeper type earrings (plus a helix allergy stud piercing with naturopath or doctors verification) and no hoops or other visible body piercing. A band aid covering piercings does not meet the requirements. No visible necklaces
• Hair shall be clean, cared for and tied back/covered if needed in certain learning environments for health and safety requirements, e.g. Food technology and Wood technology etc.
• Hair styles that carry markings that may offend some people must be corrected whilst at school.
• Hair ties and headbands shall be limited to maroon, navy, white or black.
• Hair colour is limited to natural colours only. Other colours such as blue or pink, etc., are not permitted.

• Beards, moustaches, goaties or excessive sideburns shall not be worn at school.
• Tattoos or imitation tattoos shall not be visible at school.
• Makeup and nail polish in years 7-13 shall be limited to natural colours only:
o Allowing some make-up and nail polish allows students struggling with the changes associated with puberty to maintain a good self-concept
o Excessive makeup shall not be worn at school. If make-up can be seen from across the room then it may be deemed excessive.

• Students shall be neatly dressed when attending class, at formal events or representing the school in public.

• Long-term exceptions to the above will only be made on application to the appropriate Assistant Principal of the Primary, Middle, or Senior Schools. If on medical grounds, a doctor’s certificate is expected. e.g. medic alert bracelets, podiatrist prescribed footwear, severe acne or other skin conditions.

To apply for short-term exemptions for medical reasons or for uniform passes for specific needs or a temporary pass, please see the appropriate Kaitiaki or AP for the student’s level of the school (Middle/Senior).
