Dress Code Modification
Students who for health or religious reasons may need to modify the school dress code are required to make an appointment with their Year Coordinator. Staff will be informed of any student granted a modification to the dress code.
Uniform Passes
It is a requirement that students are always in full KBCHS uniform. If a student is out of uniform, they are required to report to Student Services with a note from their parent/caregiver with a reasonable explanation. The student will then be issued with a Uniform Pass. If the student does not have a note, a parent phone call will be made to request student’s uniform be brought to the school. If this is not possible, the student may be provided with a spare uniform from the office or a Uniform Pass. Ongoing violations will be managed by the Student Services team. A consistent and vigilant approach from all staff will assist in dealing with students out of uniform.
Faction shirts
Students have the option of wearing their faction shirt as part of the school uniform. Faction shirts are a great way to show team spirit and celebrate our school’s vibrant culture. They can be worn on Faction Fridays and are especially encouraged during inter-faction events such as the Athletics Carnival, Swimming Carnival, and other whole-school activities. Wearing your faction colours helps build pride, belonging and a strong sense of community at KBCHS.
