School Dress Code - East Kimberley College
2
Hair Students (girls and boys) must ensure that their hair does not create a health or safety risk. We recommend that long hair be ‘tied back’ as a preventative measure in avoiding / containing the spread of head lice and to prevent accidents occurring in high risk areas (eg. Physical Education, Science, Design and Technology, Art, Home Economics etc). Hats The K – Yr 6 section of the school follows a No Hat, No Shoes = No Play policy. This policy is operative throughout the year. We encourage students to wear ‘bucket’ or broad brim hats. Footwear Kindergarten – Year 2 students may wear approved sandals or closed in footwear. Sandals must be secured over and around the foot. Bare feet and thongs are not Dress Code options. All footwear must be flat soled so that it is suitable for wearing during physical activities. Students from Years 5-12 are to wear closed-in shoes. This is to ensure their safety and health around the school. If secondary students do not have access to appropriate footwear they may be provided with a pair of school shoes so they can participate in practical subjects such as Science, Design and Technology, Art and Home Economics. If a student comes dressed for school in non- approved clothing items they will be required to wear a school-provided alternative for the school day. Alternatively, a parent / caregiver may be contacted and asked to bring clothing that conforms with the school’s dress code. The following items are not approved nor acceptable as part of the East Kimberley College Dress Code (Yr's PP-12): The school will implement the following steps to ensure that all students meet the minimum dress requirements as outlined in the School Dress Code: Denim.
