Policy Reference: Career Education NAG 1

• The Board of Trustees requires students in Years 1 - 13 to wear regulation uniform as a condition of school enrolment.  
• A uniform worn with pride, communicates much to the students and community.  It establishes standards both in appearance and expectation and prevents competition among students.
• We encourage students to take pride in their appearance and ask parents to support the school in seeing that their children wear the regulation uniform, maintain a neat, clean standard of dress and have clothing clearly named.
