VICTORY LUTHERAN COLLEGE UNIFORM School uniform is compulsory and all students are expected to take pride in their appearance and grooming. The uniform is not a fashion accessory but a means of publicly demonstrating the community to which you belong. The following policy has been derived taking the following into consideration: Safety, especially in regard to sport, science, art and technology sessions Health, avoidance of infections Building an image of a student who would be accepted in a variety of job interview situations A ‘uniform’ is to ensure a uniform appearance, where extremes are not acceptable Students not in full uniform are required to have a note of explanation, which must be presented to the class teacher (Primary) or Home Group Teacher (Middle/ Senior School) who will sign the note, and it will then act as a ‘uniform pass’’. Regardless of a student following the appropriate procedure for being out of uniform this does not give the student the right to wear anything they like to school. The expectation is that they will look reasonable and presentable. Denim jeans are not regarded as suitable.

They may also be permitted on approved excursions, but remain the responsibility of the students at all times. Extreme hairstyles will not be tolerated and boys’ facial hair must be neat, tidy and closely cropped. Whilst the PERSONAL College recognizes that hairstyles are a matter of individual style and taste, adherence to a uniform GROOMING appearance means that we ask students to keep their hair neat and clean; hair colours should remain within (incl. HAIR) the natural variations of brown, black, red and blonde and extreme styles including but not limited to dreadlocks, spikes, Mohawks and beading should be avoided.
