College Policies

The following policies exist to ensure all students are well presented at all times, but also as a guide to follow when problems arise.

If for any reason the uniform cannot be worn, an explanatory note signed by the parent/guardian must be given to the student's tutor and to the receptionist, who will issue an "out of uniform" pass to the student for a limited period of time.
Students may wear the official College cap with any of their College uniforms. CBC beanies may be worn in Terms 2 & 3 only.
Scarves may be only plain black or navy blue.

Hair and Grooming

The standard haircut for a CBC student is that hair is to be cut above the ears, and off the face. Ponytails and undercuts are not permitted. No colouring is permitted at any time. The Principal reserves the right as the final arbiter in maintaining the proper grooming of students in this regard.

Procedure: Student is directed by staff to obtain a haircut. If the student refuses or fails to co-operate, then the matter is reported to the Principal.

Telephones

Mobile phones are not permitted at CBC except when a student suffers from severe medical condition. Then permission may be granted by the principal. Students who carry unauthorised mobiles to school will have them confiscated for a minimum of 2 weeks.

The public phone is available for student use between 8.00 am - 4.00 pm. However, students may only use the telephone during class for an emergency and with teacher's signed permission.

Detentions

Detentions should be regarded as an exceptional occurrence reserved for more serious misdemeanours. When a student is given a Detention, a card will be handed to the student to take home for his parents/guardians and which parents/guardians are required to sign. This card is brought back to school by the student on the date of the Detention. Detentions will be for one hour after school on Thursdays and Fridays from 3.30pm - 4.30pm, or for three hours on Saturday mornings from 9.00am - 12.00 noon.
