Uniform Guide - 2018 Uniform Guide - 1
Rationale The Southern Hills Christian College uniform is intended to support our sense of community and healthy pride in our College, and to emphasise our character, organisation and commitment to maintaining a level of dignity within the school s dress standards. The way a student wears his/her uniform reflects his/her own self-image and is also a measure of how they regard other people. Simplicity and neatness is emphasised in order to underline this principle, Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewellery or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God s sight. 1 Peter 3:3-4 (NIV) Responsibility to be Well Groomed The proper wearing of College uniform (regular and sport uniform) is compulsory. Parents/Guardians should ensure that their child s uniform is being worn correctly, freshly laundered and in good repair when they leave home. It is the students responsibility to be fully prepared for each school day, which includes the wearing of the correct school uniform at all times during the day. Support of the Southern Hills Christian College Uniform Policy is a condition of enrolment. Repeated uniform breaches may involve a student being required to purchase items from the uniform shop, face suspension, or their parent/guardian being requested to immediately collect their child from the College. If a student is out of uniform they should bring a note from home signed by their parent/guardian. This note will be checked and signed by a member of Student Services. The note should state clearly which item of uniform is unavailable, the reason for this, and the date when the student will be in correct uniform again. Having a note does not necessarily diminish or remove the student s responsibility to be prepared for the school day and have the correct uniform. The remaining items of the school uniform must be worn. All uniforms must be clearly labelled (with student s full name) and it is the student s responsibility to care for each piece of attire while at school. Items of uniform are to be clean, correctly sized and in good repair. uniform will be worn for Term 2 and Term 3, unless otherwise notified. The College blazer is required to be worn both to and from school, and to all official College functions. Previously, the school tracksuit top was allowed as the outer layer for the formal uniform in secondary school. The blazer and wool jumper now replaces the tracksuit top from Term 3, 2018 onwards. Students with special uniform needs can consult with the College for options. 2 - Uniform Guide
