Uniforms

Uniform Policy
It is the policy of Beaufort Secondary College that all students wear our school uniform. Students must wear the uniform each school day, including to and from school and the uniform must be presentable at all times. Students are to wear their uniform during sporting events, excursions and when representing the College. The uniform has been designed for easy maintenance, student comfort and student protection.

• By having a compulsory uniform Beaufort Secondary College aims to:
• Encourage a sense of pride and belonging amongst our students
• Promote a positive image of our school in the community
• Identify our students as belonging to BSC
• Develop a mutual respect amongst students by minimising visible evidence of economic or social differences
• Account for health and safety risk/s in student participation in curriculum activities

These ultimately reflect our school’s values of Respectful Relationships, Excellence and High Expectations.Furthermore, BSC is committed to supporting a positive transition into meeting workplace expectations. This means that:

• Earring studs or small earring sleepers may be worn; discreet necklaces are acceptable
• The only facial piercing permitted is a small nose stud. Students will be asked to remove all other facial piercings
• Students’ hair must be of a natural colour and tied back if past shoulder length
• Any tattoos must be covered at all times
• Make up and nail polish should be discreet and natural
• Skirts, dresses and shorts should be kept at an acceptable length – between the knee and mid-thigh
• Out of uniform clothing that can be seen under the uniform is not acceptable e.g. hooded tops.

When the full uniform cannot be worn for some reason, parents are asked to provide a note. Students not wearing correct uniform may be provided with a uniform to wear for the day.
