The Southport School Senior Handbook 2013 37 School Rules The rules which follow are not intended to be comprehensive, nor is it possible to legislate for every eventuality. You should use your own common sense and judge for yourself whether your actions are in the interest of the School or wider community. If in any doubt, you should ask someone you trust. The following rules will naturally be supplemented by House Rules and by rules which apply to particular activities such as athletics, swimming, and so on. 1. Standards of Uniform and Appearance Dress • Day boys will wear the approved School uniform when travelling to and from School no matter what form of transport is used. • Day boys will wear the approved School uniform if they intend to conduct business of any nature in a recognised business area, during their journey to and from school. • Day boys will ensure that neatness is maintained and that School uniform, sports uniform, and cadet uniform are not mixed. • Jewellery, such as rings and chains, are not to be worn. Hairstyle The School requires that hair be styled within the following limits: • It must be reasonably short but no shorter than an electric comb setting of No. 3. • It must be brushed neatly, shaped to the head and clear of the collar and ears. • Boys are to be clean shaven and sideburns no lower than the earhole. • No boy is permitted to cut their own hair or another boy’s hair. • Extremes of style, perms, use of colour, dye, gels and the like are not acceptable and may result in the student being suspended from school until his appearance is acceptable. Appearance All boys will recognise and accept the School’s high standards of dress and appearance and wear the uniform correctly and neatly. 2. Absences – General Policy It is not School policy to permit students to be absent prior to or following holidays for the purpose of extending long weekends or vacation periods. Parents are expected to make arrangements which occur during holiday periods rather than extending into term. Appointments or arrangements which will lead to absence on those days should therefore be avoided. Only in exceptional circumstances will the Dean of Students consider any application to vary these provisions. Late Return After the Holidays Boys who return to School after the term has commenced must report to their Housemaster and Student Services before taking their place in class. Sickness, Unforeseen Absence or Lateness • Parents are asked to contact the School directly by telephone on 5531 9850 if a day boy is to be absent from School or School activity or is likely to be late for School. It is School policy to contact parents by a text message when a day boy is absent from classes if such absence has not been notified. • Every day boy who is absent from School (or a School activity) must, on return, present to his Mentor Teacher a written statement from his parents, explaining the circumstances. • Every day boy who is absent from School during an examination must provide a doctor’s certificate explaining his absence. • In case of late arrivals, students are required to report to Student Services with a note from parents explaining their lateness. Student Services will issue the boy with a receipt to be presented to the class teacher. Unexplained late arrivals will result in a Lost Sheep Community Service detention during lunchtime.
