Uniform

A few reminders regarding uniform expectations at SAC.

Blazer

It is compulsory for you to wear the school blazer to and from school in term 2 and term 3. You are allowed to remove the blazer after Learning Group once your name is marked off but will need to wear this again as you are leaving the College.

If your require a new blazer, you will need to organise this ASAP

Winter Uniform (Sports Uniform and Jumper)

You are not allowed to wear the navy blue jumper when wearing sports uniform. A sports jacket is required for this. You are not allowed to combine the two uniforms together or wear a non-school jumper. If you are cold during your sports/PE day, you are required to wear school uniform with their blazer. 

You are allowed to wear navy blue or black gloves and scarves. 

No beanies are allowed

Eye lash extensions and Nails

You are not allowed to have eye lash extensions or fake nails at school. A note does not excuse you from wearing this to school. 

Hair colour

Hair must be one natural colour. Students cannot have different coloured strands, highlights or tips in their hair.

Lateness

We've introduced a new process to ensure everyone's attendance stays tip-top here at St Andrews. 

Starting from today, if you happen to be late to school without a valid excuse, you'll be automatically assigned to a Wellbeing Recess Detention.

These detentions will be supervised by one of the Leaders of Wellbeing and will happen every day except for Fridays. If you're late on a Friday, your detention will be scheduled for the following Monday.

This detention will take place in B2.

Remember, being on time sets you up for success, so let's all make an effort to be punctual! 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Goals for the term

Continue to show kindness and respect to everyone in the College. Always greet your teachers at the beginning of each lesson and say thank you after

Make it a goal this term to complete and submit all classwork and ask for help when needed

Final Message

I continue to be impressed each day with how a lot of you continue to uphold yourselves as students of St Andrews. It pleases me to see all the growth you continue to have as people and students. 

Keep this up and remember that you can always have a chat with me if there is anything you need to discuss

Mr Carlos

Leader of Wellbeing - Year 8
