  • Bracelets and ankle chains should not be worn to school
  • The school will not take responsibility for jewellery worn to school

  • School bags must be large and practical enough to hold required equipment and school books (including A4 size).

PE Uniform

  • Eastlea logo black jogging bottoms or Eastlea logo black shorts

The uniform guidelines will be reinforced consistently:

  • Non-uniform items will be confiscated, and the school cannot take responsibility if items are mislaid during the period of confiscation.
  • Students who are not in uniform will either be sent home to change with the permission from their parents or carer, or will be given the correct uniform to wear.  Students will either be required to return these items or to pay for a replacement.

Students who are sent home to change must only take as long as necessary to change into the correct uniform.  If a student persists in not wearing the correct uniform then their absence, when returning home to change, will be recorded as ‘unauthorised’.

The school discourages students from wearing any makeup.  However if makeup is worn it should be discreet and minimal.  Fake and acrylic nails are NOT permitted, students who have these will be told to remove them as they pose a health and safety risk.

Equipment

Students are expected to come to school fully equipped and ready to learn. They are expected to arrive at school every day with the following equipment. Arriving at school correctly equipped is very important; failure to bring the correct equipment means that your child loses valuable learning time.

The equipment list is as follows:

  1. Clear plastic pencil case
  2. Black pen
  3. Pencil
  4. Ruler
  5. Rubber
  6. Green pen
  7. Two different coloured highlighters.
  8. Glue stick
  9. Scientific calculator (Casio Fx-83Gt Plus Scientific Calculator)
