Acting Pastoral Care & Wellbeing Coordinator
Welcome back to Term Two. Our Pastoral team and Year Coordinators have prepared and organised a range of activities and initiatives for this term to continue to promote positive wellbeing and care for each student. This started today with various Year group meetings during our Pastoral period.
Winter Uniform reminder
A reminder that the College Winter Uniform is to be worn by all students from the commencement of Term 2. The College blazer must be worn to and from school each day, except Tuesday or when wearing the College sports uniform.
Students are reminded to take the required measures to make sure they adhere to the expectations of the uniform and grooming policies. Please refer to the College Student Diary, pages 17 -19 for information on the uniform and grooming policies.
Key points include:
Girls - skirt/tunic at a modest length to the knee. Mount Carmel long navy socks or black tights. Trouser option with long sleeve blouse tucked in, and Mount Carmel girls tie.
Boys - Mount Carmel grey trouser with long sleeved shirt tucked in. Mount Carmel tie. Black plain buckle belt and Mount Carmel grey ankle socks.
Mount Carmel sports jacket can only be worn on sports days or with the sports uniform. The Mount Carmel sports jacket MUST not be worn with the College Academic Uniform.
If a student is cold, they must wear the Mount Carmel College Blazer, with the Mount Carmel vest or pullover under the blazer. Any NON COLLEGE clothing MUST not be worn to school and will be confiscated.
Reminders relating to behaviour, learning, uniform and wellbeing often need to be explicitly addressed as a means of ensuring we are meeting the high expectations, building strong routines, and continually encouraging accountability, responsibilities, positive relationships and safety for all our students.
