UNIFORM STANDARDS
Our students are strongly encouraged to take pride in themselves and to be conscious that judgments are made about them and their school, based on their behaviour, appearance and manners. Students must always present in uniform of the highest possible standard.
Please note that the only acceptable items of uniform are those purchased from the Penrhos College Uniform Shop.
1. The correct uniform must be worn to and from school whether travelling by public transport, car, bicycle or on foot.
2. Students are not permitted to present at school with extreme hair styles or colours. The final decision as to what constitutes “extreme” rests with the Head of Secondary School/Dean of Students. Hair lengths that reach the shoulders or below must be tied back with hair ties and accessories purchased from the Uniform Shop.
3. Makeup may not be worn to school.
4. Coloured nail-polish (clear is ok), false, fake and gel nails are not to be worn to school unless approved by the Head of Secondary School/ Dean of Students.
5. No jewellery is to be worn with the school uniform apart from the following:
• Plain gold/silver studs/sleepers and only one in each lower ear lobe. Visible piercings (such as upper ear, nose, tongue, eyebrow studs, etc.) are not permitted nor are coverings (including clear plastic) to hide these.
• A watch
• A simple chain and cross.
Permission may be granted on a case-by-case basis to a student to wear a specified item of jewellery. This may be for religious, cultural or pastoral reasons. In such cases, a uniform pass will be issued to the student.
Staff will confiscate any items of jewellery that do not comply.
6. The correct length for the dress and skirt is knee length or below.
7. The College straw hat must be worn to and from school each day, throughout the year and when students sit in the sun during break times. The straw hat may be required to be worn on excursions.
8. Blazers are to be worn to and from school every day in Terms 2 and 3, and on all school outings and at formal occasions such as assemblies. There is an expectation that students will have their blazer at the College.
9. Shoes must be polished regularly and shoelaces must be black and of appropriate length.
10. Students are only permitted to wear Penrhos badges on their uniforms.
11. For cultural reasons, and in consultation with the Dean of Students/Head of Secondary School, an individual may wear an item of clothing outside of those items sold at the Uniform Shop, such as a hijab. In these circumstances, the item of clothing must align with the main colours in the uniform (white, black, moss green).
