Uniform Reminders- From the Parent Handbook online at our website.
JEWELLERY
Jewellery should be kept to a minimum – watches, chains and religious symbols are acceptable. No single piercing or more than two earrings to be worn. Sleepers and studs are the accepted earring style. Please note a child with a single piercing or more than two piercings will be given the option to insert a clear stud or remove the earring.
SHOES AND SOCKS
- Students are required to wear black shoes that can be polished (no canvas or runner style).
- Sports shoes should be supportive and not basketball style high-tops. Coloured runners are acceptable.
- Sports socks must be white socks i.e., covering the ankle. ‘Sockettes’ are not appropriate for school wear.
Morning Procedures
A friendly reminder that as per the Enterprise Agreement for Catholic Schools, active supervision does not commence until 8.20a.m The school gates are opened promptly at this time. Can we kindly ask that students are supervised prior to this. There are several students without parents or guardians waiting outside the gates and this poses a significant safety risk. The crossing lady is not a guarantee that children are supervised, as her role is to direct traffic.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
