We would very much appreciate you discussing these weekly focuses with your childrenand reviewing the expected and non-acceptable behaviours in our endeavour to see that StPatrick’s is a more respectful, responsible, and safe learning community for all.

St Patrick’s Uniform – A reminder for Term 3
At St Patrick’s School wearing school uniform is a sign that your child is a member of
our special community. The pride students demonstrate in wearing school uniform is
a mark of their sense of belonging. Wearing the correct and full uniform assists in
developing self respect, self discipline and care for oneself. 

Please see below an excerpt from our Uniform Code explaining the wearing of Jewellery

1.Small watches may be worn, providing they do not distract from the overall                   appearance of the uniform. 
2.Students may wear one pair of plain silver or gold sleepers or plain silver or
   gold studs.
3.No make up is to be worn, including lip gloss. Lip balm may be worn for dry lips.
4.No nail polish, acrylic nails, SNS or Shellac. No rings or bracelets are to be worn. 
5.Religious medals, on a thin chain, may be worn under the school shirt.

Kind regards
Mr Gavan Hoctor
Assistant Principal
