Purpose of the Student Dress Code

The purpose of the Student Dress Code is to outline Ringwood Secondary College’s
requirements for student dress and appearance and to provide information about uniform purchase and support, dress code implementation and exemption processes.

This dress code has been developed by Ringwood Secondary College’s School Council in close consultation with our school community to ensure that it respects the rights of individual students whilst reflecting the values and interests of our community.

The Student Dress Code aims to:

  • foster a sense of community, belonging, inclusiveness and equality while encouraging students to develop pride in their appearance
  • support Ringwood Secondary College’s commitment to ensuring students are dressed safely and appropriately for school activities
  • reduce student competition based on clothing
  • enhance the profile and identity of the school and its students within the wider community

By enrolling at Ringwood Secondary College, all students are expected to comply with the Student Dress Code while traveling to and from school, during school hours and when attending school activities.
