CODE OF DRESS

The uniform is a symbol of the College and as such should be worn with pride and kept clean and tidy. If students must access campus facilities outside of regular classes, they must be in uniform. Shorts, mini skirts, haltertops, spaghetti straps are not appropriate dress on the campuses.

 1.      Students must wear the correct uniform - white shirt/blouse (no darts/styles), navy blue pants/skirts (tailored), the school tie, black shoes and white socks/stockings - while on the premises and while travelling to and from the College on official College business.

2. All students must comply with the dress code. Exceptions will be made on:

a)      Religious grounds with written support from a Justice of the Peace.

b)      Health grounds with the support of a medical certificate.

(However, each case will be judged on its own merit.)

3. Skirts must be worn knee length and they must not be clinging.

There should be no tucks, pleats or A-line.

4. Shirts and blouses must be worn inside the skirt or pants at all times. Bush jackets and outside blouses are for Nursing students only.
