UNIFORM EXPECTATIONS / GENERAL INFORMATION

At Faith Lutheran College the uniform, in conjunction with student presentation standards, is seen as an external statement of the quality education offered at the College and is a commitment to the College ethos and the Faith community.

Families and students have the opportunity to select from a clothing range of suitable attire that allow students choice - dependent upon weather, body type and activity.

All students are to required to wear the College uniform both at the College and when travelling to and from the College. They may also be required to wear the uniform to official functions.

MAKE-UPIt is our preference that students do not wear make-up at the College. Students who choose to wear make-up may only wear light, natural coloured foundation and minimal mascara.

YEAR 12 JUMPERSYear 12 students may choose to wear their Year 12 jumper each day. They are reminded that they will need to fulfil formal uniform requirements for certain events (excursions, College photos, End of Year Services, etc).

NON-UNIFORM DAYSNon-uniform days are designed to allow students attend College in casual attire, in return for donating to a nominated charity.

Guidelines are in place to ensure that all members of the community can work and learn in an environment where they feel safe and valued.

• On all occasions students should dress using common sense, considering others in the College community

• Students need to maintain modesty at all times and consider other community members. Appropriate length of skirts and shorts – ‘on the knee’ is a good guide. The midriff should not be exposed

• Shirts should cover the upper body including shoulders, with sensible consideration given to neckline

• Clothing should not have any slogans that are offensive to anyone in the College community

• Appropriate supportive and enclosed footwear should be worn. Thongs are not acceptable

• Under clothing should not be visible
