Mobile Phone Rules

We feel strongly that within a learning environment mobile phones are a considerable challenge. As a result of this last year the school instituted the following measures to maintain a peaceful and considered learning environment.

• Mobiles phones are only allowed within the school site if a student has returned a permission slip acknowledging the risk of theft and loss;
• Mobile phones must be switched off at all times whilst on the school site (including school fields etc);

Attendance Matters

We expect our students to maintain attendance at 94% or better throughout the year.

• 95% attendance = 10 school days missed over the school year;
• 90% attendance= 20 school days missed over the whole school year;
• 85% attendance = 25 school days missed over the year.

80% attendance over 5 years = ONE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR MISSED!

Attendance matters.

School Uniform Requirements

I hope it has become obvious to you that our students should adopt a smart dress code that reflects the aspirations of the school and the local community. We wish the dress code to be a smart practical outfit that resists the vagaries of fashion and ensures a degree of consistency and equality for the students. We wish for our students to be proud of their school in their local community, especially to and from school. Please find below a link to the requirements that are compulsory for all students in Years 7 – 11.
