Dear parents, we would like to bring to your attention some uniform concerns that we would ask that you attend to in the coming week and/or over the holiday break, if your young person is in breach of our expectations. Our aim is that you have been able to attend to each of these concern over the break, so that we are good to go for day 1 of next term – Monday 21 July.
If the uniform is not corrected, we will be asking our wellbeing teachers and subject teachers to record incidents for these breaches. Multiple incidents will result in a lunchtime reflection and/or another logical consequence issued and this could involve removing your young person from her scheduled classes until the concern is amended.
- Blazers need to be worn to and from school on a daily basis and should be the visible outer garment when outside of the school grounds. With the cold weather now upon us it makes even more sense for the blazer to be worn.
- Hoodies are not to be worn under the sports / academic uniforms. Again we understand that the weather has deteriorated this term and some students will be feeling the cold however it would be pertinent to have them wear an additional spencer or singlet to keep themselves warmer.
- The collared white shirt needs to be worn with the winter uniform. We have seen an increase in the amount of students who are not wearing this shirt.
- A selection of students are wearing non-Clonard trackpants with their sports uniform. This again needs to be addressed asap.
- Additionally we continue to see students with nose-piercings and additional earrings and jewellery along with hair being worn out.
We have reattached the contact details for Noone (our preferred uniform supplier in Geelong) and Geelong Second-hand School Supplies (uniform).

No other jewellery on any part of the body is to be worn (eg: nose rings and bracelets). A fine silver or gold chain can be worn around the neck featuring a small cross. Students not complying with this requirement will be removed from their scheduled classes (internal suspension) until these jewellery concerns are rectified. The parent /carer of the student will be required to attend a meeting with the WELCOM and a member of the Leadership Team to plan for this request to be addressed.

Athletic shoes fit for purpose are to be worn in all sports classes. Leggings are not to be worn as the outer garment to and from school.
