Uniform

By sending your child to St Joseph’s College, you are accepting and supporting our school policies and procedures on school uniform, hairstyles and presentation. Pupil’s and parents are reminded that, if a pupil is in breach of the uniform regulations, College Policy is to withdraw him/her from class and send him/her home to rectify the matter. In our experience this is rarely necessary. Our pupils are often complimented on their high standard of presentation when they represent our school at events or even just travelling to and from school.

We are very proud of our uniform and expect our pupils to wear it with pride. Pupils must always be clean, neat and tidy in appearance. Parents/Guardians co-operation and support in helping us to maintain our extremely high standards is greatly appreciated and valued. Parents are asked to retain this information for reference throughout the year.
