ST JOSEPH'S CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL - SCHOOL  UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS

Upon joining the St Joseph's community, all students and parents have agreed to follow our behaviour management policies and abide by the school uniform requirements as stated in the School Diary.

Therefore, it is expected that all students will present in full correct uniform each day and this is non-negotiable requirement of every St Joseph’s student.

It is very pleasing that the vast majority of our students are acting justly by wearing their uniform in a manner that reflects that they are proud to be St Joseph's students.

Many students are feeling the cold during the winter months. To address this issue, a plain white bonded shirt as shown will be permitted as an undergarment with the winter uniform for the remainder of Term 3.  We trust that this inclusion as an extra layer of warmth will be a welcomed inclusion to the St Joseph’s uniform. We are in the process of consulting with our school uniform suppliers to have a uniform plain white bonded shirt available for sale at the School Uniform Shop in 2020.

Students wearing anything other than a plain white bonded shirt under their uniform will be issued a uniform demerit and will be required to remove the item and hand the item to staff.  The clothing will be held in the front office as a confiscated item.  Replacement clothing will be provided to students so they are kept warm and the costs of this will be appear on your school fee statement.

We aim to ensure that every student who graduates from St Joseph's Catholic High School enjoy the benefits of having attended a school which has a good reputation in the community. Our students are very visible when travelling to and from school, so a high standard of presentation is absolutely necessary. We are also preparing your sons and daughters for the work place, where many uniform rules will often apply.

Excess or unacceptable jewellery will also be confiscated and a uniform demerit will be issued.  These items will be held securely at the front office.

Any items confiscated can be collected by students at the end of the term. Alternatively parents or carers may collect the item from the office should they wish to do so.

On Monday morning, students will be told at assembly that there will be no further warnings given if they out of uniform at school. They will also be reminded during homeroom and through Sentral notifications.   Please have a discussion with your child to ensure that they are wearing the correct items to school. 

On the spot consequences of lunch withdrawals with a uniform demerit will be issued. As per our current policy, when a student receives a third uniform demerit the consequence will be an after school community service.

We would appreciate the support of all parents and carers in this matter.
