As a St Leo’s student, you are an ambassador for the College at all times, but especially when wearing the College uniform.

The uniform enhances our sense of belonging to the College community. Wearing your uniform correctly shows pride in your appearance and enhances the reputation of the College in the wider community.

As part of enrolment at the College, students and parents/carers agree on the importance of uniform and grooming standards, wearing the school uniform correctly and with pride.

It is at the discretion of the College as to acceptable uniform and grooming standards for students. Modifications may be required on an individual basis.

The College will contact parents and put in place appropriate consequences for students who continuously break uniform and grooming guidelines. Students who do not meet the uniform or grooming expectations will be subject to the following:

• First and second occasion: Infringement on Compass
• Third occasion: Restorative growth intervention
• Fourth occasion: Student will be required to leave campus and rectify the problem before returning

This resets each Term.

What to do if you are out of Uniform – Uniform Passes

If you are not in correct uniform for an acceptable reason, you must obtain a Uniform Pass from your Year Leader or Student Services before Mentor Class.

You should present a Compass or written note from your parent/carer along with this diary to your Year Leader before Mentor Class to be issued with a Uniform Pass for the day.
