Uniform Expectations: Mufti and Dress-up Days

Junior and Senior School

On certain occasions, students will be granted the privilege of wearing casual clothing to school. While this provides students with the opportunity to make some choice, students will still need to adhere to regulations required by WHS policies relating to student safety. Child protection and respectful decision making provide the framework for the schools’ expectations on mufti days.

Students will be required to undertake normal learning activities and their dress must afford them the same protection that their school uniform and school shoes provide. With this in mind, students should ensure that their casual dress abides by the following:

• Shoes should be enclosed
• Hair should be tied back for practical lessons
• Shorts, skirts and dresses should be no shorter than mid-thigh length
• Clothing and dress ups should not be contentious, politicised or controversial in nature. This is inclusive of text, symbols and imagery. 
• Midriffs must not be shown
• Underwear should not be visible
• No singlets, strapless tops or tanks should be worn
• Uniform rules regarding make up and nail polish still apply
• Students may wear additional jewellery, with the exception of ‘dangling’ earrings  or large hoop earrings 

Any student involved in a speciality subject will have additional requirements. In the case that a student has a Science or TAS lesson, leather enclosed shoes are to be worn. If a sport or PDHPE lesson would normally require the student to change to sport uniform, the school sports uniform and shoes are to be worn.

Administration of the Uniform Policy

Senior School

It is the responsibility of all students to follow the school’s uniform policies.

If a student is in breach of a Uniform Policy (school or PDHPE), where possible she will be spoken to and asked to rectify the problem. Infringements for school uniform will be recorded separately to infringements for PDHPE uniform. They will also be administered independently of each other.  

On the second instance of breaching a Uniform Policy (school or PDHPE), the student will be placed on a lunchtime reparation. 

On the third and any subsequent instances of breaching a Uniform Policy, a letter will be sent home to parents informing them of their daughter’s breach of the Uniform Policy and as a consequence, the student will receive a formal afternoon reparation. During this reparation the student may be asked to perform some act of service to the school community. Each term the count is reset and students start afresh.

Students who do not attend the lunchtime reparation for breaching the Uniform Policy will be placed on a formal afternoon reparation.

Students who are asked to lengthen their skirt will be given a weekend to rectify the problem. They will need to obtain a uniform pass, for the remainder of the week, from the Assistant Head of Senior School.

Students will need to remove piercings such as nose, tongue, eyebrow piercing or ear piercing other than the ear lobe immediately. Parents should be aware that if students choose to get these piercings during school holidays they will be required to remove these once the school term commences. Clear studs or band aids covering these piercings will not be permitted.
