JPC Uniform Policy

Rationale/Purpose The JPC Uniform is an important part of our school’s identity and community and should be worn with pride and respect. Uniforms assist all students to feel equal with each other and also to relieve the teenage pressure to have the latest clothing and labels.

Procedures for Uniform Breaches We ask parents/guardians to work with the College to ensure that students wear the correct uniform and take pride in the uniform guidelines. Should a student attend school not wearing the uniform or not wearing it appropriately, an entry will be made in the student’s record and parents may be notified. Serious or ongoing uniform breaches may result in the student being sent home until the situation is rectified. Students may be removed from external school activities or school-based activities if not in the correct uniform. Students who consistently ignore the uniform policy will need to attend a meeting with their parents/guardians and JPC staff to resolve the issue. Uniforms are always to be worn correctly before and after school hours when the students are in public, as the students are representing the College when in the community. Forms Nil
