Rules & Regulations

School Rules and Regulations

All students are expected to read and learn the School Rules.

The School believes that the only discipline of real significance is that which the individual imposes upon oneself. These rules aim to make each student aware of the value of self-control, orderliness and the need to cultivate a sense of responsibility for their own conduct and for the larger community of which they are a part.

 

   Dress  Regulations

The School expects its students to wear their full school uniform correctly and with pride and sets high standards for students in public. It is our expectation that uniform and shoes will be clean and in good repair. Boys hair should be combed and of an acceptable length (not over the collar, ears or eyes), with no artificial colouring. Girls hair should be of a natural colour, clean,  well kept and drawn away from the face. Make up is not to be worn to school, other than a very light covering of tinted sunscreen. Girls may wear silver, gold or pearl studs (5mm diameter maximum) with one earring in each lobe. No other jewellery, body adornments, tattoos or piercings are allowed.

During the school day students arriving or departing grounds must wear their blazer and hat unless instructed otherwise.
