Procedures for students out of uniform

Students who arrive at school out of uniform without explanation are expected to collect a uniform pass from the swipe room before school.

A student should bring a note of explanation from a parent/carer for being out of uniform. This must be presented to the swipe room where a uniform pass will be issued without breach.

Students who do not bring a note of explanation will have a uniform breach noted on their record.

During every lesson, teachers are to check for students who are out of uniform. In period 1 students who are out of uniform should be sent to the swipe room by 9.10am, they will be issued with a uniform pass and a uniform breach recorded on their record.
