Uniform expectations

The students of Santa Sabina College identify themselves in both the immediate and broader community by willingly wearing the College uniform with pride and respect. Students are required to adhere to the College’s Uniform Guidelines at all times. As the year draws to a close, you may be considering new uniform purchases or making alterations to existing uniform items. May I remind you of some of our expectations, so that your daughter meets our Uniform Guidelines, acknowledged by students and their families on page 25 of the College diary:

Length of uniform

The Uniform Guidelines states:

• Students wearing the College dress or skirt are not permitted to shorten the length. Dresses and skirts are to reach the middle of the knee. 

Please take this into account when purchasing new dresses and skirts. If your daughter’s dress or skirt does not adhere to this point, please ensure alterations to lengthen the garment are made over the holiday break. Students will be asked to purchase a new skirt or dress if they are unable to comply. 

Jewellery

The Uniform Guidelines states:

• The only jewellery permitted to be work is a watch, the College lapel cross and one pair of plain sleepers or studs (silver, gold, clear stone or small pearl) for pierced ears which need to be placed in each lower earlobe in matching positions. 

We would appreciate you discussing these points with your daughter, so that we can work in partnership to foster a sense of belonging and pride.
