We are also going to re-focus on students wearing the correct uniform over the next few weeks. We understand that students need to be warm, but hoodies are not part of the school uniform. The uniform rules, set by our board of trustees, are very clear guidelines that every enrolling student agrees to. Wearing our uniform appropriately signifies respect for our school and it’s environment. Long sleeve thermals are fine to wear providing they are under a school jumper or jacket. Thank you for supporting us in this approach. I wish you all a pleasant weekend. Ngā mihi
