They will be provided with a replacement uniform or the violation will be corrected eg. fingernail polish removed. A 30 minute detention will be given to any student without a note and this will be recorded in IDAttend. The student is then to return the item (washed and ironed) within 3 days. If a student does not report to K14 before school the Peer Support teacher will record a uniform violation in IDAttend and will immediately send the student to the Year Coordinator in K14 for a replacement uniform. A 30 minute detention will also apply. If a student is in class during the day and is not wearing the appropriate uniform, the teacher records a uniform violation on IDAttend.
