2 General Uniform Information Green Point Christian College is committed to maintaining an environment where students recognise that they are valued and unique individuals, but are also integral members of a community. Within this environment, students are encouraged to develop their individual talents and gifts and to explore how to use these gifts in the growth of the community as a whole. One of the ways that students demonstrate their commitment to the College community is by the wearing of a uniform. It is a visible reminder of the connection and commitment to the vision and values of the College. Benefits of wearing a uniform: It provides a common standard of appropriate dress that reduces the opportunity for superficial comparisons to be made. It provides a standard of appropriate dress that is modest but functional, therefore removing the opportunity for others to be negatively impacted eg some clothing items highlight the human body in a sexual way, or may contain offensive slogans or pictures. Provides students with a tangible and positive symbol that they belong to our school community. Assists the students in their roles as ambassadors of the College, whether in or out of school Students are expected to be in formal uniform each day and are to be wearing it appropriately without modifications. Students need to get changed into their Sports Uniform or Blacks if they are involved in any of the following: Practical PDHPE classes Drama classes Days they may have a lunch time sport training Students who have non school sports training after school are expected to wear their formal uniform and make provisions to change into appropriate clothing after school. PROCEDURE FOR DEALING WITH UNIFORM ISSUES Students who present to school with incorrect uniform may be issued with a demerit from a teaching staff member. Usually uniform will be checked in Devotions. Should a student have a situation where the uniform cannot be worn, then a parental note should be provided on the day with an explanation and timeframe. This note can be shown to staff members who question the student about their uniform. When a uniform item cannot be worn for an extended period then a letter should be forwarded to the Year Advisor. 15
