Casual Clothes Day

On Friday 7 April (week 10), there will be a whole school casual clothes day to raise money for Project Compassion. Students are asked to bring a gold coin donation to support the work of Caritas Australia in 'Loving our neighbour'.

Guidelines for Casual Clothes Day:

  • Students are to wear neat casual clothes that are appropriate for general learning.
  • Shoes must comply with safety standards: they must be closed in and protect feet. 
  • No thongs, sandals, ugg boots or heels are to be worn.
  • General clothing must be of a respectable standard: no brief or skimpy shorts, tops or skirts.

If students are not appropriately dressed they will be asked to go home and change.
