MUFTI DRESS CODE 
(Years 12 and 13)

This dress code applies to all students who have permission to wear mufti.

Students at school should be practically, attractively and economically dressed in a manner that allows students and parents some choice.  

The choice of clothing should be neat, clean, decent and appropriate for school life.

AIMS
  • To allow students and parents a choice of clothing to be worn to school and on associated school activities.
  • To give guidelines to ensure safety and decency and to prevent clothing giving offence.
  • To discourage competition of dress and to encourage modest dress appropriate to everyday work.

GUIDELINES FOR THE WEARING OF UNIFORM AND MUFTI 
  • Clothing worn to school is to be clean, tidy, decent and not torn or frayed.
  • Clothing will not carry offensive messages or pictures, or slogans relating to alcohol and other drugs.
  • Footwear must be worn.  It must be clean and in good repair.  Sandals with back straps are permitted.
  • T-shirts are acceptable school wear.  Year 12 and 13 students will be permitted to wear sleeveless, semi-formal tops (not shoestring straps or singlets).  All tops must cover the midriff and cleavage.  Under-garments should not be visible.
  • Shorts and skirts: to be worn no shorter than 5cm above the knee.
  • Hats, gloves and coats are not to be worn in classrooms or at assembly. 
  • Care must be taken with loose clothing and long hair which might be unsafe, e.g. near machinery, bunsens, etc.  Students may be asked to remove items of clothing wherever health or safety might be an issue.
  • Excessive jewellery will not be worn as it can be dangerous in the gymnasium, laboratory and workshops. A small stud, bar or ring no bigger than 10mm is the only jewellery to be worn in any piercing.  No sharp or pointed piercings.

Appropriate dress sense, and awareness of the expectations of the community, should be fostered in our students. 

NOTE:                                                              
The school reserves the right to decide whether standards of personal dress and grooming are acceptable, and to take action when standards are unsatisfactory.

If you can't wear the correct uniform:
See your Form Teacher before Period 1.  You must have a note from home explaining the circumstances.
