As members of a choir and performance program, students are expected to be well groomed and presentable. Uniform shirts need to be tucked in pants or skirts. Students are not allowed to wear PE shirts under their uniforms. The buttons on the girls' cardigans should be reinforced with strong thread as they tend to fall off easily. If buttons do go missing they need to be replaced. All girls with long hair must have hair tied back or braided in all PE or sport activities.
**How to Sew on the SJCS Crests**
You will need to sew the crest onto the vest/cardigan. Here are measurements to guide you. Use common sense as it's not an exact science. The crests must be positioned on the left (over the heart) and the centre of the crest should be measured from the top seam (at the shoulder level) as well as from centre-body (from the breastbone or sternum)
Larger sizes (senior students - possibly grades 5/6 as well)
ladies: 19cm from shoulder seam; 12-13cm from centre
men: 17.5-18cm from shoulder seam; 9-10cm from centre
Adapt the smaller sizes
girls/boys: 17-18cm from shoulder; 8-10 from centre
UNIFORM DRESS CODE
We require respect for uniform rules - so no runners, sockless leggings, hoodies worn over uniforms etc. Uniform zippered hoodies are available for sale if a student needs the extra insulation. Uniform compliance is noted by staff at assembly (sorry about the public shaming - we don’t enjoy it either!)
Students without PE house-shirts will be asked to sit out during PE class. Please remember to bring it along daily. Contact Rebekah DeMong should you need to replace any item.
We’re noticing more girls dyeing hair lately. This is challenging admin to decide where to draw the line!
Our consensus is this: no “outrageous” colours - any hair altering that would draw undue attention while, say, singing in public. It contradicts our vision of beauty - and we do consider some adolescent views of beauty as being objectively “not so”. So do encourage your students to appreciate their natural, youthful good looks!
