Enjoy the holiday break. Students have been told that after Labour Weekend we move back into summer uniform so the holidays are a good time to check where that
skirt or pair of shorts might be and if they still fit!
WELL DONE To all students who have managed to find summer uniform items (shorts or skirts ) and make the changeover week deadline of week 4. Bus students can wear their track suit pants to school but must change by 9 am.

I neglected to ensure that 'mufti days' were set aside in our School Diary – my apologies. In recent years they have become the main source of income for our contributions to World Vision for both our sponsored children and others in need. Therefore a mufti day will be held on FRIDAY 4 JUNE and for those who participate a minimum donation of $2 is requested. Funds raised will be given to the World Vision Kosovo Appeal. Mufti days will be held in terms three and four, a reminder will appear in the Newsletter prior to the date.

In notes to parents the school provides additional grooming details:
General Uniform: Socks are to pulled up just below the knee and shirts tucked into appropriately sized shorts. Shorts and shirts which are ripped must be repaired appropriately, and buttons replaced as required.
Hair: There are some points of clarification that may be useful to ascertain whether or not a haircut is acceptable. There are no undercuts, hair must be blended in. As a guideline the number 2 razor is an absolute minimum length. The fringe of the student must be out of his eyes. Hair length must be off the ears and off the collar.
