SUMMER UNIFORM

A reminder that Term 4 marks the change to summer uniform. We receive many comments on the outstanding manner in which the students from St John’s present in the Shoalhaven community. This is the result of the school working with the students to understand the importance of personal presentation and the family support for excellence in this area. It is essential that every student takes pride in the school uniform and wears it according to the guidelines indicated in the School Diary. All students should be in their correct summer uniform from the first day of Term 4.

A reminder that:

• Girls may wear their long pants as a part of the summer uniform
• The girls’ skirts must reach the knee. Please check your skirt lengths during the holidays to ensure that they are at knee length.
• Girls have the option of socks or tights. From the beginning of Term 4 all students should be wearing the official school socks purchased from Lowes.
• Boys wear a short sleeved shirt which is to be untucked. They have the option of pants or school shorts and the school socks.
• School shoes are appropriate black leather lace-up polishable sturdy shoes.
• Hairstyles must be moderate and of a suitable length and natural colour as prescribed in the diary. No facial hair. Hair should be tied back once at collar length/below the earlobes. The new shaved on the side style is not allowed at St John's.
• Only appropriate jewellery as prescribed in the school diary.
• Excessive make up: the current fashion of heavily shaping and colouring eyebrows is not to be worn at school.
• Correctly sized SJE sports shorts

If purchasing uniform items from Lowes, please mention the school name. We thank parents for their ongoing support in ensuring these guidelines are continually being met.

Students may wear either FULL winter or summer uniform during the last two weeks of Term 3. The weather is changeable so each student can dress to accommodate their level of comfort. Students must make the decision one way or the other though, as any variation on a full uniform will incur a playground withdrawal. Year 12 students may wish to take the opportunity to have their winter uniform laundered in time for the graduation ceremony.

Have a wonderful week!
