SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY


SCHOOL AIMS:

  • To promote a culture of excellence in teaching and learning.
  • To ensure a supportive, happy and secure environment for learning.
  • To encourage the physical and emotional wellbeing of each individual.


RATIONALE:

All students at Discovery Bay International School are required to wear the compulsory wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in school-organised events outside normal school hours. We provide a complete list of the items needed for school uniforms upon enrolment and on our school website.

PURPOSES:

  1. To engender a sense of pride and community in being part of our school.
  2. To be practical and smart.
  3. To identify our school students (health and safety).
  4. To allow students to be equal to their peers in their appearance.
  5. To provide a sun-sensitive and multi-seasonal uniform to accommodate the climatic variations in Hong Kong.

GUIDELINES:

  1. All students are required to wear the compulsory school uniform as stated in the uniform list.
  2. For health and safety reasons we do not want students to wear jewellery while at school. The exceptions to this rule are earrings in pierced ears that would be suitable and safe for the school environment, and small objects of religious significance, such as a crucifix on a chain. We ask students to either remove these objects during PE and games, or cover them with plaster, to prevent them from causing injury. Necklaces of any kind should not be visible over clothing.
  3. All parents with students enrolled in our school are required to support the school uniform policy. It is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their child has the correct uniform and that it is named, clean and in good repair.
  4. Should students wish to dye their hair, we would expect this to be in natural colours and not be of an obvious nature.


CONCLUSION:

It is intended that wearing our Discovery Bay International School uniform will provide comfortable and appealing clothing for all students and it will also assist in the ongoing development of our sense of school community. This policy is to be read in conjunction with the DBIS Health and Safety Policy.
