Dress Standards (p. 33 of Handbook)

The College requires staff to dress professionally as outlined below.

Normal Working Days

Staff are expected to wear neat, professional and appropriate clothing for the duties they will be performing. In general, all male staff are expected to wear a collared shirt and tie, with female staff required to dress in an equivalent standard of attire. Staff are reminded that thongs, sleeveless tops, hoodies, beanies and revealing items are not appropriate. The Principal reserves the right to have the final say on what is appropriate regarding attire, hair colour, tattoos and piercings etc.

Staff Uniforms

Where uniforms are supplied staff are expected to adhere to dress codes accordingly. Exceptions may need to be considered based on specific duties or particular tasks. Directions / Requests are the responsibility of the relevant line manager and the approver is the Dean of Staff.

Student Free Days

Staff dress requirements are clean, tidy and neat casual, keeping in mind that professional standards need to be maintained. As a guide: no thongs, no singlets and collared shirts are preferred.

Health & Physical Education Staff

The College prescribed uniform should be worn. There would be exceptions during excessively hot days but pants or track pants should be worn in classrooms.

Sports Staff

Staff are required to change for sport afternoons into a tracksuit, College polo top or appropriate attire based on the activity they are supervising. ACC coaches who teach periods 3 and 4 on the particular Sports Day may be considered an exception to this requirement if it is not practical to change before departure to “away” venue. All staff will be provided with a College Staff polo shirt and are encouraged to purchase approved College Staff attire.

Functions

On formal occasions such as Speech Night or Inaugural Mass, staff are required to dress appropriately. This includes a jacket and tie for men and the equivalent standard for women.
