Hair and Grooming
Extreme hairstyles such as excessive undercuts, messiness and conspicuous use of colour, gel or other hair product are not compatible with the school uniform. As a general rule, students hair colour should be as close as possible to their natural colour and is to be a single colour. Boys’ hair must be neat and tidy - short enough to allow it to clear the collar and face and not touch the ears (No. 3 clipper guard produces the minimum acceptable hair length.)

Hair clips etc should be of the same colour. No other colour is acceptable.

Not permitted.
Jewellery
No jewellery other than watches, medic-alerts and approved badges relating to Macarthur Anglican School is permitted (including earrings of any description). This also includes all types of ‘religious’ jewellery including crosses or articles typically worn by other faiths. If students wish to have their ears pierced they must do so at the beginning of the long vacation period to obviate the need of wearing studs or sleepers on return to school. Permission to wear earrings for any reason will be denied. The School has a policy of confiscating jewellery and keeping it in the School safe until the end of term.
Hats
All students in Years T-6 must wear an approved school sun hat or sports hats when involved in PE, sport, recess or lunch play. Sunblock is advised on hot days.
Overcoats, Scarves and Gloves
While not a compulsory part of the uniform, students may wear a black overcoat on cold days. The overcoat can be worn over a school blazer, but not instead of one, in very cold weather. Only black scarves and gloves can be worn with the uniform and these are available through the Uniform Shop. Beanies (of any colour) are not acceptable items of uniform.
