Education Act 2016

The principal of a school may develop a dress code for the students at the school.

A principal is to develop a dress code in accordance with the Secretary's instructions.

In developing a dress code, the principal is to consult with the school association for the school.

In developing the dress code, a principal is to take into account the matters specified in the Secretary's instructions.

The principal of a State school is to ensure that students comply with the dress code.

If a principal considers that a student's failure to comply with the dress code occurs too frequently and without reasonable excuse, that failure is taken to be unacceptable behaviour under a behaviour management policy developed under section 129 by the principal.
