Students will be allowed to attend school out of the normal uniform at a cost, wearing clothing in the
national colours, red, black and white. All red, all black or all white are not recommended but a
mix of colours. Students may attend in non-national colours if they do not have appropriate clothing
in national colours. but this is discouraged. The cost is $10.00 payable upon entry at the gate. School
Polo shirt with jeans may also be worn.
Students are not allowed to wear the following:

Students who do not wish to participate must wear their normal full school uniform. Parents will
be asked to pick up their child/ward from the school who do not conform to the dress code. Please note
that this is a regular school day, therefore students must follow their timetables and come to school
