hair is allowed unless it is the student’s own hair colour. No tinting or dying of hair by
unnatural colours, such as red or blue, is allowed. The plaiting of hair with beads is
also unacceptable.

Braids should be neat and of a reasonable length. The school authorities reserve the
right to decide what hair style is permissible.

Hats and head wear

Hats must be navy blue and worn outside of class only. Headscarves or hair bands
may only be maroon or black. Other colours are not permissible. Headscarves can
only be worn for religious reasons after seeking permission from the school
authorities. No logos, unless it is the school logo, or slogans on hats are allowed.

PREFECTS

The uniform for prefects is a white shirt and a maroon tie. In addition, prefects are
given badges to denote their authority. Badges and ties must be worn all the time a
prefect is in school. If a prefect loses their tie or badge, they will be expected to pay
for a replacement.

Form 6 uniform

All Form 6 students, like prefects, are required to wear white shirts and school ties at
all times on school campus.

Identity cards

It is compulsory for every student to wear and display their identity card while on the
school campus. Any student who fails to do this without a valid reason will be subject
to a penalty.

If an identity card is lost the matter must be reported immediately to the Multimedia
Co-ordinator so that a replacement can be made. The charge made to replace a
lost identity card is P120.

Other points to note:

1. Shirts must be tucked in properly at all times while on school campus.

2. Ties, if worn, must be worn correctly, that is, tied up to near the neck. They must
not be worn untied, e.g. hanging around the neck like a scarf, or around the head
like a bandana.

3
3. Jackets or blazers must be navy blue and jerseys maroon and not wine red. Other
colours are not acceptable. Only the school badge/logo is allowed to be worn on
jackets and jerseys. No sporting or other insignia are allowed.

4. Only a plain white or sky-blue T-shirt or top is allowed to be worn under a shirt. It is
not permitted to wear a long sleeve T-shirt or top under a short sleeve shirt.

5. No hoods are allowed except for jackets and track suit tops. Hoods must not be
worn covering the head inside class.

6. Body piercing, other than for the purpose of wearing earrings or ear studs by girls,
is not allowed. Any type of tattoo is forbidden.

Uniform during school assemblies and other school functions (e.g. Awards Night)

All students are expected to wear their school ties when school assemblies or other
important school functions take place.

Infringements of the uniform code

Students are expected to wear their uniform properly at all times, whether in school
or off campus. If a student has a medical problem, or any other type of problem
that concerns the correct wearing of uniform, the school authorities must be
informed immediately through a letter from either a parent or guardian. Medical
reasons for not being able to dress fully in uniform must be accompanied by a note
or certificate from a doctor or other medical authority.

A student found breaking the uniform code by a member of staff or a prefect is

liable to pay a fine and be subject to other types of disciplinary action. Students who
repeatedly infringe the uniform code may be placed on detention or have their
parents called for consultation. (Refer to Disciplinary Code of Conduct.)

Finally, it should be noted that it is the school authorities whom the final arbiters are
concerning whether an item of uniform is acceptable, and not the student.
