College Winter Uniform – Why?

Unless exempt by the College authorities, a student is required to wear the school uniform authorised for daily wear or for the appropriate sport or activity. As members of a school, proud of its heritage and the student body, all students are expected to take pride in the uniform and to also wear it properly.

The objective of the Uniform Policy is to promote a school culture which provides all students with a fundamental sense of belonging and to develop within each student a sense of personal identity which links to his commitment to the school community.

The uniform of St Edmund’s College reflects the positive image and values that we as a school want to demonstrate to the wider community. A consistent and fair uniform policy improves overall student morale and student cohesion in the school community. Students at St Edmund’s College are therefore expected to maintain a high standard of personal appearance at all times. Presenting an exemplary image to the school and community is the responsibility of every student as a member of the St Edmund’s College community.

If consistent and persistent issues arise in regard to the wearing of the College uniform, then the Behaviour Management Policy and Procedures will be appropriately applied. This is designed to help the student understand the importance of being committed to and accepting the College uniform as a required dress code under the agreement of enrolment at St Edmund’s College.

The College uniform helps to promote cohesion between different groups within the school thus breaking down differences which can be financially, culturally or religiously based.

The College has graded and progressive responses to deal with students who infringe in response to College Uniform guidelines which are formalised as part of the Student Management Guidelines and enrolment policy.
