All students enrolled at RND are required to wear the school uniform. The uniform exists as a means of identifying each student of RND as a member of the school and the wider Catholic community. Uniform violations may be viewed as trivial by certain students and even some parents, however they do affect the learning environment. We address uniform issues vigorously and we seek parental cooperation in having your sons and daughters comply with the regulations. No student will be denied access to RND as a result of being unable to afford the uniform. The uniform is not intended to be a fashion statement for students. Students must present themselves in school uniform in good repair at all times during the school day. T-shirts worn under shirts and blouses must be white, with no printing. Jackets and coats are not permitted during the school day. Ball caps are not permitted in the school; they will be seized and reissued at the end of the semester. Spiked hair is not permitted. Studded jewellery (i.e. bracelets and necklaces) and arm bands are not permitted. Multi-layered necklaces and bracelets are also not permitted. Appropriate attire for shop, gym, drama and art will be determined by the teacher and worn for that period only. On non-uniform days, unacceptable and/or immodest clothing and clothing with inappropriate design/language or promoting drugs/alcohol/sex will not be permitted. Students not in full uniform or dressed unsuitably may be reprimanded, assigned a study hall, required to change into acceptable attire, or sent home. Persistent violation of the uniform policy will result in suspension from school.
