Dress Code
The purpose of ASB's Dress Code is to support a positive learning environment. ASB wants to establish an environment that will be comfortable for students, conducive to learning, and respectful of our host culture. In addition we want students to take responsibility for dressing for school while maintaining autonomy. It is for these reasons that ASB has the following expectations of acceptable clothing for students.
Students should be neatly dressed in clothing appropriate for an ECEC-Grade 12 school environment.
The expectations and guidelines are as follows:
- Neat dress: Nice shirts, collared polo style or button up shirts are preferable.
- Shoulders and backs must be covered.
- Sleeveless shirts are acceptable, but should cover the shoulders to the end of the shoulder joint.
- The shirt and pants must have constant overlap with normal posture and movement; midriff should not be visible
- If a student is wearing a jacket or sweat top over a shirt or blouse that does not meet dress code, it must remained zipped or buttoned up.
- Boxers or other underclothes should not be visible.
- Skirts should fall to knee length.
- Shorts or combination skirt/shorts should be modest
- Sandals or shoes are acceptable
Clothing promoting ideas which are inappropriate in the school setting should not be worn.
As a natural consequence students who are not dressed according to the guidelines will be asked to change into more appropriate attire or return home to acquire more suitable dress. If a student continually does not meet the guidelines, parents will be contacted and further consequences may result.
