First Day Back of Term 3 – Wednesday 22 July 2020

We begin Semester 2 on Wednesday 22 July 2020 with normal classes for Day 3 and a continuation of our Winter Uniform expectations. 

Below are reminders regarding our College Winter Uniform and grooming regulations.  These are highlighted to ensure that our high expectations continue to be made very clear to all members of our great College community.

The winter uniform continues to have the following expectations:

• All students must own a College blazer and MUST wear it to and from the College
• Regulation grey stockings are to be worn at all times.
• Any clothing worn under the College shirt must not be visible. All undergarments should be neutral in colour.
• High-collared skivvies, hoodies, beanies and other non-school attire must NOT be worn.
• The College Jumper is not part of the Sports Uniform and can only be worn in Winter under the College Blazer when travelling to or from school each day.
• Scarves must be the College scarf or a plain maroon/grey scarf. Scarves with extra fringing or of another colour are not permitted.
• College Skirts must cover the bottom of the knee-cap (ie covering the whole knee).  

We ask parents to ensure that over the holidays you check your daughter’s uniform and rectify any problems before coming back on the first day of Term 3. If any student is NOT in the correct winter uniform on the first day of Term 3, she will be sent home to have the problem rectified. Please ensure you refer to the College Dress Code in the College Diary.

Internet Safety over the School Holidays

It is important to maintain a healthy balance between online time and other more physical social activities for your daughters. To support parents/carers over the upcoming school holidays, the following link from the eSafety Commissioner (esafety.gov.au), provides advice for the “big issues” and in particular how to avoid these or handle them appropriately if they arise. eSafety – The Big Issues
