Uniform
In terms of our current students and the move to ALP this will be seamless, there is no need to worry about changing uniforms as this will not be introduced until September for our new Year 7 students only. Of course parents are able to purchase the new uniform when they need to replace their current uniform but we are very mindful that no extra financial burden should be necessary.
We take great pride in our uniform and it is a non-negotiable within school. All students must arrive in school in the correct uniform every day. All uniform can be ordered from our uniform supplier Michael Sehgal and are available to view and purchase via the company website (Link) or in person at the Michael Sehgal shop in Newcastle (please see ‘Visit us’ section of their website)
Standards
We want all our students to be proud of their appearance and ready to learn. If a student arrives at school without the proper uniform we will be happy to lend them a spare uniform in order for them to continue with their learning. In exceptional circumstances a student may have a medical exemption and we will work with you.
How can you support?
We really want to help and work in partnership with you and really appreciate it if you can ensure students wear the correct uniform every day then this avoids any conflict. If you have any concerns please phone school ahead of your child arriving at school.
