STUDENT UNIFORM POLICY
Emmanuel College is a school which operates with the consent of the Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne and is owned, operated and governed by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd (MACS). This Policy is designed to ensure Emmanuel College complies with the 11 minimum Child Safe Standards in line with Ministerial Order No. 1359. As educators, we have a mandatory obligation to create a culture which prioritises a safe, nurturing community for every child. The Standards provide a framework for routinely reviewing and strengthening Child Safety strategies, policies and practices. All students and families should be familiar with, and be clear about, what is expected of our students in regard to uniform and personal presentation. When students make a choice not to observe these standards, they are choosing to disregard College expectations and staff will be obliged to issue consequences to assist the student to be responsible for their choices. Students have a responsibility to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner in all situations, particularly where they are wearing the College uniform. We expect that students will be well-groomed at all times and to behave with courtesy, common sense and consideration for others. The information detailed below is also included in the Student Handbook, and students and parents are expected to be familiar with its contents.
The College uniform is compulsory for all students from Year 7 to 12.
