Year 7 & 8 Administrative & Course Handbook

SOCKS AND STOCKINGS FOR GIRLS • Only white school socks are to be worn with either the summer or winter uniform. • Students may wear black or blue stockings with their winter uniform. JEWELLERY In order to maintain the high standards associated with our College, we would like to reaffirm the College Uniform Policy in regards to jewellery. Jewellery worn must be discreet and minimal. Small studs and sleepers are acceptable in ears. A single chain can be worn around the neck. The College Council is clear in its rules in regards to facial piercing. No facial piercing is allowed . Where necessary, a clear plastic rod (available from chemists) may be worn without barbs or balls for a short time. TATTOOS Tattoos cannot be visible and must be covered at all times. In Victoria the legal age for a Tattoo is 18. (Department of Health: Regulations of tattooing and body piercing: Legal restrictions on tattooing in Australia). HAIR COLOUR As outlined in the College Planner, extreme nonnatural hair colours are not permitted, for example bold bright red stripes. COLLEGE SPORT UNIFORM Students are to change into their Physical Education uniform in the change rooms provided in the gymnasium at the beginning of their PE lessons. The sports uniform is to be taken to Physical Education classes in a small sports bag/durable bag. Physical Education staff supervise the wearing of these uniforms and detentions are given after students have failed to change in to the correct Physical Education uniform more than once. If, for any reason, the correct uniform cannot be worn a suitable change and a note is required. For illnesses and injuries longer than 2 weeks a Medical Certificate may be required. WEARING THE COLLEGE UNIFORM • There will be no alterations to school uniform as set by the College Council. NB: no combinations of Winter and Summer. • No garments worn underneath the College uniform are to be visible. • No hoodies are to be worn. • Students must wear either complete winter or complete summer uniform. • The uniform should be in a clean and serviceable condition. • If on any day it is not possible to wear school uniform, a note explaining this, should be forwarded to the Homegroup teacher. • The attendance at all official College events, functions, school photos, sporting activities etc. is dependent on wearing of full College uniform. 16 MOOROOLBARK COLLEGE
