CASUAL CLOTHES DAY POLICY

On special occasions students are permitted to wear a selection of their own casual clothes to school
instead of their normal uniform. Generally, these occasions are held as fundraisers for selected
charities, therefore a coin donation from each student is seen to be appropriate.

Whilst it is a casual clothes day, the College still expects students to observe principles
concerning the dignity of each person and the respect for others. Students need to be mindful of
the styles of clothing and appearance that are deemed to be inappropriate at Wallan Secondary
College

• All tops and shirts must cover the shoulders and should not be low cut. All tops should be of
sufficient length to cover the midriff
• Hoodies are not permitted to be worn at any time
• Shoulderless, shoe‐string strapped and singlet tops are not appropriate
• Shorts (both male and female), dresses and skirts must sit no lower than the hips and must be
mid‐ thigh length or longer
• Shorts, Skirts or dresses which contain slits or folds that can expose the leg are also not
permitted
• Jeggings and leggings are not to be worn without a mid-thigh length clothing item over the top
• Jeans with rips that expose the upper thigh area are not permitted
• Clothes must not convey inappropriate messages
• Night attire (Pajamas – PJs etc.) is not acceptable
• If students have a Physical Education, Science or Design and Technology class on a casual
clothes day then they must wear or bring the appropriate footwear
• WSC Uniform policy still applies to facial piercings, jewellery, hair colour, makeup and nail
polish.
Furthermore, students should be mindful that if they are dressed inappropriately, or that their
appearance is deemed not suitable by the Student Management Team, they will be required to
change into more appropriate clothing or are sent home with parental permission.
