NOTE: In terms of both young men and women, no periods of ‘grace’ will be granted in terms of having to wear jewellery for a fixed period of time after any new visible piercings are obtained. Only clear ‘retainers’ will be allowed. If students are planning to get a piercing, they should carefully consider the timing of this choice to avoid potentially wasting their money and/or disrupting their education.
Without exception tattoos should not be visible at school and must be covered up completely by clothing.
- Any form of headwear, coats and scarfs are not permitted to be worn in the school building at any time.
