Year 13 Students
Year 13 students have a choice of either:
A. wearing the regulation uniform or
B. wearing non-uniform, provided that such is clean, neat, tidy and appropriate for schooling.
Note: When wearing ‘number ones’ students must abide by the uniform code for Years 9 – 12.
Students choosing to wear non-uniform are required to meet the above code, taking note of the
following points:
• Items of school uniform may NOT be worn with non-uniform.
• In consultation with the Principal, exemptions may be granted for traditional tattoos of cultural
significance including Tā Moko (traditional Māori tattoo) and Taulima (traditional Polynesian tattoo).
• Emphasis will be on the condition of clothes, overall presentation and modesty. Singlets may not be
worn by either sex. Strapless tops, three-quarter tops and strap singlets are not to be worn. No bare
midriff clothes are to be worn.

Rather than compile an extensive list of clothing which may or may not be appropriate, students must
understand that staff will determine what is and what is not acceptable. If clothing or presentation is
deemed inappropriate, the wearer will be sent home to change. We have the right to add to this list at
any time.

Students refusing to accept a ruling on appropriateness of clothing will be subject to stand-down.

Persistent offenders will have their right to wear
non-uniform withdrawn
