Over the past few weeks students have been given the privilege of wearing their PE uniform with the House t-shirt to school on days when they have pre-carnival athletics events. On Kolbe Day again, students were allowed to wear their PE uniform with the House t-shirt. While it has been great to see so many students competing in the pre-carnival events and Kolbe Day, we need students to abide by our uniform policies. Uniform expectations are clearly articulated in the student diary and all students are required to wear the uniform correctly. A number of uniform issues need to be highlighted:

• College blazer must be worn to and from school. Students need to wear the blazer up until recess.
• Predominantly white sport shoes are to worn with the PE uniform.
• Students may wear items underneath the uniform providing they are not visible from the outside.
• When wearing the PE uniform, the College, jumper can only be worn underneath the tracksuit top. Students are not permitted to wear the jumper on its own with the shorts or track pants.

Generally, uniform standards have been a little disappointing in recent times. This needs to be improved. Next week, the College will have its Inter-House Athletics Carnival and it is important all students wear the correct uniform on the day. Students will need to wear their tracksuit and PE Shorts with their House t-shirt, along with white runners and Kolbe sport socks and hat. Students who do not have the correct uniform, need to remedy the situation before the Athletics Carnival.
The uniform shop is open on Monday and Thursday mornings.

In the up and coming weeks, students will be called upon to represent the College at various events. It is essential that students take pride in the way in which they wear the uniform. All families are asked to check the student diary if they are unsure of the uniform expectations.
