The ASMS is proud to support a culture of respect and inclusivity. Students have a responsibility to choose their school clothing using the following guidelines. These have been written to incorporate both WHS and transcultural sensitivity:
- Shoes need to closed, ie cover the feet, as students will be working in spaces with hazardous equipment.
- Shoes need to have a backstrap or heel.
- Undergarments should be completely covered.
- Bodies should be covered from shoulders to legs, including the midriff and upper thighs
- Hair must be tied back whilst working with laboratory or Ideation Studio equipment.
- Labels on clothing should not endorse or promote alcohol, drugs or potentially threatening or offensive behaviour and should not be offensive.
- Students should ensure that they, and their clothes, are clean.
We support students in making these choices by having one-on-one, supportive conversations when necessary, aiming to assist students in dressing appropriately for our school environment. At times we may need your support in assisting your child with their dress choices. We appreciate your cooperation with these conversations. Students who do not come to school appropriately dressed may be asked to wear clothing to cover themselves or their logos, including school-provided lab coats or school provided t-shirts if required.
