Uniform Policy

The uniform promotes pride in the school and an increase in student self-esteem as well as a sense of belonging. The uniform is attractive, long wearing and eliminates competitiveness in dress. The wearing of uniform at HCC is compulsory.

At Heatherton Christian College we would like to see students taking care and pride in their appearance. We anticipate that all students will diligently attend to their personal grooming and that uniforms are clean and in good condition worn in the manner intended. We have set down some guidelines that need to be adhered to, to ensure a high standard is met. We do, however, understand that sometimes a situation may arise that will require special consideration. In this case we would appreciate you consulting the principal to discuss your special needs.   

We appreciate your diligence in maintaining school uniform and we will be advising you if unacceptable uniform becomes habitual.
