Mobile Phone and Uniform Expectations

Over the next few weeks, there will be a strong focus on student mobile phone use and uniform expectations. At the Middle and Senior College assembly this week students were reminded of our polices and expectations. Parent support in ensuring students meet uniform expectations, including while in the community would be appreciated.

Mobile Phones & Ear Buds

• Mobile phones should not be seen or used during the school day by students.

• Students are not to use their phone during the school day from 8.00am until the end of the school day. To assist in this, phones brought to school by Junior and Middle College students are to be kept secure in lockers or bags at the owner’s risk. Senior students may carry them with them but should not be using them during the day.

• Students are not to be wearing headphones or earbuds while on campus and can do so only with medical/academic accommodations or when directed to do so by teachers.

• Phones should not be used in any manner or place that is disruptive to the normal routines of the College or to other persons in the College. These guidelines also refer to the use of mobile phones during excursions or other off-campus sanctioned activities.

Makeup

• No makeup other than medicated skin products are to be worn when in College uniform.

• Lip-gloss is not allowed to be worn.

• Nails should be natural and cut to meet safety standards of all activities. Only clear nail polish can be worn.

Ties and socks

• There will be a focus on male students wearing ties correctly and wearing navy/black socks with long pants for Seniors and long socks for Year 6-9 boys.

• There will be a focus on female students wearing PLC branded socks with day uniform and both female and male students wearing PLC branded socks with sports uniform.

Thank you for your support of strengthening our College uniform and mobile phone expectations with our Middle/Senior College students.
