Staff Essential Information

Sport

Mazenod College is part of the Associated Catholic Colleges (ACC) sporting competition. These competitions occupy most afternoons. Tuesday is scheduled for Years 9 & 10, Wednesday for Years 11 & 12; and Thursday for Years 7 & 8. The Sports Department is always keen to hear of teachers interested in being involved with ACC sporting teams.

Staff Dress Standards

The College requires staff to dress professionally as outlined below.

Staff Clothing - Appropriate Footwear

The safety and care of all staff is paramount at Mazenod College and as a result guidelines are provided for the wearing of appropriate footwear:

• All staff are recommended to wear closed toe shoes when onsite.

• If staff are using machinery, or in a workshop, they are advised to wear protective footwear such as steel cap boots or shoes.

• Staff who work predominantly in laboratories, kitchens, or any other areas where there may be moisture or wet areas are advised to wear the appropriate rubber, nonslip soled footwear.

• If working in an area where there is the possibility of a chemical spill, (science labs, maintenance or in workshop situations) perforated shoes, sandals, or cloth sneakers are NOT to be worn as they provide no barrier between you and chemical and physical hazards.

If staff are not sure of the appropriate footwear, please speak with your immediate line manager or the Dean of Staff.

Normal Working Days - Teaching and Education Support Staff

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.
