• Fosters and enhances the public image of the school;
• Assists in building school and team spirit;
• Ensures students are safely dressed for specific school activities;
• Encourages equity among students; and
• Identifies students in the school.

School colours are navy blue and red.

General appearance

Hair

Children who have long hair are asked to maintain its cleanliness and keep it tied back so that sight is not impeded and general tidiness is maintained.

Personal cleanliness

Standards of personal cleanliness are regarded as the pupil’s own responsibility and children are asked to think of the comfort and wellbeing of others during their time at school.

Jewellery
