Where students do not meet our uniform expectations:
- Where consent is given and it is practically appropriate, students will be allowed home to return with appropriate correct school uniform.
- Where possible, contact will be made with parents/carers at home for the correct uniform to be brought to school as soon as possible.
- Where possible, the school will loan students uniform for the day. This is not an expectation of the school and the loan is subject to the availability of spare uniform.
- Students who are unable to meet our uniform expectations will spend their day in our refocus room until school uniform expectations can be met.
