Students Clothing Guidelines (taken from the School Clothing Policy):
ABIS is an international school that believes in expressing individuality, allowing student choice, showing respect for others, especially our host country, and caring about student safety. The following policy states the school’s age appropriate position on its dress code.
All students from K3 to 12 are required to wear ABIS branded tops (shirts, blouses, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets) for all day to day activities and classes including PE. The ABIS logo must be visible at all times. Tops should be bought directly from the school from the choices and colours available.
Students can choose what they wear below the waist, as long as it follows the guidelines below.
Key Points:
-
Clothing should be smart; not torn, stained, or bleached.
-
Clothing should not be tight or revealing.
-
For students in Grade 6 and up, the knees and shoulders must be covered.
-
Leggings can be worn, but only with shorts, skirts or loose fitting clothing.
-
Jeans can be worn as long as they have no holes or rips.
-
There should be no large distracting patterns, images, logos, or fluorescent colours.
-
Footwear should be secure and have a protective back strap. Footwear must be suitable for the activities undertaken (such as MUN and Dance). No Crocs.
-
All primary students must wear hats and sunscreen whilst outside.
-
Secondary students are encouraged to wear hats and sunscreen and make responsible choices.
-
Any jewelry or accessories worn must be safe, discreet and respectful.
-
Hats/headwear (unless for religious purposes) should not be worn inside.
-
For PE and external activities (such as sports, science, field trips, etc.) students will be required to wear school approved clothing.
-
The Secondary School will form an Essential Agreement on what is respectful in terms of hair, jewelry, and makeup, etc. The school’s approach will be to positively guide students on responsible choices.
-
Students not meeting the dress code will be given permission to call home so that appropriate clothing may be brought to school. School clothing can be ordered online https://abisoman.com/shop/
- Currently students are permitted to wear their PE clothing on days that they have PE to avoid the need for changing at school.
