Drop, dangle, bars, ring or hoop piercings or earrings of any type or size, are banned on health and safety grounds.Students will be asked to remove them immediately.Repeat offences or failure to comply with the uniform policy will result in sanctions in line with the Code of Behaviour.
Students should be neat and tidy at all times. All uniform items should be clearly marked with the student’s name.
While wearing the school uniform, within the school and outside the school grounds,students are expected to behave in a manner consistent with the standards set by the school.

A parent/guardian will be contacted and asked to bring appropriate uniform to school or collect their daughter and return her in full uniform.
