School UniformsSchool uniforms and high standards of personal presentation communicate that a school is a serious place of learning. As an outward sign of inner values, the strict and neat wearing of a school uniform supports long held community views about school discipline, equality and creating a sense of belonging.

At Holland Park High we are developing a school culture where learning is the key focus, supported by all students adhering to a set of standards that underpin not only their appearance but also their behaviour and their approach to learning.

At enrolment all parents and students are made aware of the school expectations regarding uniforms. By enrolling your child at Holland Park High you commit to our standards and accept our school policies including school uniforms.

SCHOOL UNIFORM DETAILS

Uniform As a guide, students will need a minimum of two formal uniforms (e.g. two blouses / shirts and one skirt / shorts) and one sports uniform and plain black leather shoes. All items must meet the specifications as stipulated by the P & C Association. Students participating in HPE classes (all years 7-10 students) may need a second Polo shirt, depending on when practical lessons are timetabled. Formal and Sports uniform items are not to be worn together. On Tuesdays (Years 7-9 students) and Wednesdays (Years 10-12 students) should wear the polo shirt, sports shorts, sports shoes and their school hat. On other days where students have a practical HPE lesson, students should bring their sports uniform to change during breaks. Variation to the school uniform Students are expected to comply with the school dress code. If a student is unable to wear a particular part of the uniform on any day, they should:

bring a note of explanation from a parent or guardian to the Year Coordinator.

The Year Coordinator will, if possible, supply the student with the relevant uniform piece from our school supply for the day and the student is required to wear the loaned item.

Students who do not bring a note of explanation from home will be issued with an out of uniform slip and will be required to complete a detention. Variations to the school uniform are not permitted. Consequently students who do not wear the correct uniform will be:

required to change or be withdrawn from class if, in the judgement of the school, their clothing or their wearing of it, is l ikely to cause offence or distraction to other students, teachers, parents or is a safety risk.

Year Coordinators will contact the parents of students who are out of uniform on a regular basis to offer assistance and encourage compliance with our uniform standards.

Volleyball Uniforms/Met East Uniforms/Senior Jerseys Holland Park High Volleyball jerseys may be worn on Sports days with the sports uniform. They can also be worn to and from school for early morning and late afternoon volleyball training only. They must not be worn at school Monday, Thursday, Friday. Met East sports uniforms are not to be worn with the school uniform at any time. The Senior Jersey must be worn with a school shirt or blouse underneath the jersey. The Senior jersey can be worn in Terms 2 and 3 as an optional component of the winter uniform. Workplace Health and Safety and the Uniform Standard All uniforms are designed to Workplace Health and Safety standards to ensure the safety of students in school activities. Impervious uppers on shoes are compulsory for lessons where safety is an issue – usually Manual Arts, Science & Home Economics. Hats and Sunglasses All students are required to wear a school approved hat for all outdoor activities. No caps are to be worn as they do not comply with Sun Safety Standards. Sunglasses may be worn during sports and break activities. Hats and sunglasses are not to be worn indoors. School Bags School bags are to be waterproof and suitable for the protection of school resources. Hand bags and other fashion items are unsuitable for school use. Hair Hair should be:

neatly styled and not in the student’s face.

Hairstyles and colours must be conservative and unobtrusive and consistent with the “positive school image” guidelines from the Code of Behaviour.

Where a student’s hair is a distraction to teaching and learning, or detracts from a positive school image, consequences will be applied and students will be expected to comply with school standards within a prescribed time. Hair accessories must be discreet and in school colours.

Male students should be clean shaven or wear a well groomed and conservative beard. Jewellery

Plain sleepers or plain studs to 5mm may be worn in pierced ears only (a maximum of two in each ear).

No other visible body piercing jewellery is allowed such as nose, lip, chin, eyebrow, tongue studs or rings (including clear plastic).

Religious or cultural medallions may be worn. They must be on a long, thin chain which is neither leather nor thick, that hangs well below and inside the uniform (so they are not visible and do not fall out).
