Uniforms are an important part of the school setting. They allow the students to focus on education and not be distracted by dress fads or accessories. They allow the teachers the opportunity to stay on task with their teaching. It is not the responsibility of school staff to see that children are in proper uniform each day; it is the responsibility of the parents. Our Lady Star of the Sea School needs parent help, cooperation, and support of the school dress code.
Length of girls’ jumpers and skirts may not be shorter than 1 inch above the knee. Keep in mind that when a jumper or skirt is purchased, enough hem should be present to allow for growth. Tops may be long sleeve or short sleeve solid white with either Star of the Sea logo. If a t-shirt is worn under a uniform shirt, it must be solid white – no logos, designs or writing.
A student is out-of-uniform if he/she is not wearing the correct shoes, shirt, sweater, pants, or if his/her shirt is still un-tucked after having been asked to keep it tucked in, or if a girl’s uniform jumper or skirt is not of appropriate length.
Every day that the student is out of uniform they will be sent to the office to call home for appropriate uniform or will be given an Out of Uniform pass. The office will keep record of each offence.
Every second time the student is out of uniform, he/she will be unable to participate in the next dress down or spirit wear day.
If a student has been out of uniform four times, he/she will be unable to participate in the next two dress down or spirit wear days.
