From the Deputy Principal – Uniform Checks in the Senior School

Wearing the School uniform correctly helps create a sense of belonging to our School community. It also helps promote the idea of inclusivity, non-discrimination and equal opportunity, and we hope that all the girls wear their uniform with pride, identifying themselves as MLC School girls within the broader community.

Unfortunately, it is only too easy as each term progresses, for some of our girls to become less than perfect in their appearance and for the rules regarding jewellery to be disregarded. From next week we will be conducting regular and specific uniform checks across the Senior School, starting with a formal check that girls are wearing their uniform correctly in Luminary period on Monday. Girls who are not following the uniform rules will assist senior leadership staff with clean up at lunchtimes across the week. Uniform checks will continue throughout the following weeks with ad hoc checks in class by teachers and senior leadership staff. In addition, the Monday formal uniform check will also take place in Week 9 and Week 10.

We ask for your help with uniform issues. Parents and carers play an important role in monitoring uniform and it is only by our working together that we can achieve a standard of dress that is a credit to the girls and to the School at all times.

Thank you for your assistance.
