Traffic Rules

We are concerned with the safety of children being left at and collected from the School and, with the parking facilities available, we ask for your continued cooperation and care.

— Please note the City of Boroondara parking signs — Parents are not to park or turn in the grounds of Balwyn

Anglican Church (formerly St Barnabas) as this is private property — Do not use the bus bay in Millah Road, private driveways or the

Junior School driveway to park or turn — Please note that there is a Council Crossing attendant on duty morning and afternoon to control the School crossing — Junior School children should be collected from the Junior

School, not from the Senior School

Travelling Safely

The following guidelines should be adhered to in the interest of safety:

— Girls must not cross Balwyn Road, other than at the School crossing under adult supervision — Girls must be accompanied by a member of staff when crossing the road during School hours — Girls must be accompanied by an adult when crossing the road after School hours — Girls must observe the ‘Walk’ and ‘Don’t Walk’ signs and the directions of crossing supervisors — All girls riding bicycles and scooters to and from School must wear a helmet.

Uniform Requirements

Fintona’s school uniform is in the School colours of navy blue and gold and a detailed list of the Fintona uniform is available on the Bob Stewart Website: www.bobstewart.com.au/products/fintona-girls’-school

Every student should have enough School uniform to allow them to come properly dressed on all occasions. Each garment must be in good order and clearly named. This includes small items such as ties, socks and shoes.

The summer uniform is worn during Terms 1 and 4; the winter uniform is worn during Terms 2 and 3. There is a two week changeover period for summer and winter uniform which occurs at the start of Terms 2 and 4. Notification of any alteration to that schedule, because of unusual weather, will be given to parents. Students in Years 3 and 4 must have their blazer with them at all times and may be required to wear the blazer to Assembly and other special occasions. Students in Years 3 and 4 may not wear their jumpers as their outermost garment outside the School grounds.

Points to Note:

— Uniform requirements must be strictly adhered to — Both the summer and winter uniform are to be worn no shorter than knee length — Below collar length hair is to be neatly tied back with Fintona ribbons — Government regulations state that girls riding to and from

School must wear a bicycle helmet — With the exception of a watch and regulation gold or silver studs for students with pierced ears, jewellery is not to be worn to School. If non-regulation jewellery is worn, students will be asked to remove it for safekeeping by the office until the end of the day — Make up and nail polish are not permitted with School uniform — Formal School uniform is required to be worn to major School assemblies throughout the year. These include Presentation

Evening in the Junior School, the School Concert, and on other occasions, as notified. — Bob Stewart’s of Kew, 201-211 High Street, Kew 3101, 9853 8249, is the sole supplier of the Fintona uniform (www. bobstewart.com.au).
