Uniform Code
The following guidelines seek to clarify issues relating to uniform and dress standards.
- Students' appearance at all times should conform to acceptable standards. Wearing of the uniform should reflect positively upon the student and the College community. Clothing is to be kept in a good state of repair. Oversize clothing is not to be worn.
- Non regulation clothing is not to be worn with the College uniform. This includes travelling to and from school (with the exception of wet weather gear).
- Jewellery at the College will not be permitted with the exception of small personal items. The only jewellery allowed is:
- One stud or sleeper per ear. No other jewellery is to be worn on the face (i.e. no nose studs, lip studs etc).
- One signet ring (unobtrusive).
- One plain wrist bracelet.
- One necklace limited to a cross/crucifix or taonga may be worn. This is to remain at the discretion of the Management at all times.
- Make up, fancy hair-clips and nail polish (other than colourless or natural) are not permitted.
- Head bands must be black or Campion Green in colour.
- Coloured hair-braiding is not permitted.
- Hair must be clean, tidy and clear of the face. Unusual variations of hair styles or colours are not permitted. Males are to be clean shaven. Side burns are not to extend below the ear. These remain at the discretion of the Management.
- Tattoos are not permitted. There may be some consideration given for culturally significant tattoos, and in such circumstances prior approval should be gained from the Principal.
- Skirts must be of reasonable length. Front pleated skirts are to be below knee length.
- Shoes must be the regulation black leather shoes. Black lace up dress shoes for boys, black leather shoes with one strap across the foot for girls. Canvas or suede shoes are not permitted. Sports shoes, skate shoes, or sneaker type shoes (except for PE) are not permitted.
- T-shirts, cycle pants and other garments worn under the uniform must not be visible.
- Underwear must not be visible.
- The College Crest is to be worn on shirts, jerseys and jackets.
- When wearing the College jersey, the jersey length should be below the bottom of the shirt. The shirt should not be visible below the bottom of the jersey.
- ALL ITEMS OF CLOTHING MUST BE CLEARLY MARKED WITH THE OWNER'S NAME.
- All non-uniform articles of clothing will be confiscated. Students who, for genuine reasons, are unable to wear full regulation uniform, are required to obtain permission from the Deputy Principal. A loan garment will be issued where possible. If this is not possible then a permit will be given to such students as long as they provide an explanatory letter signed by their parent/guardian. The permit should be applied for by 8.30 a.m. (office) on the first day the item of non-regulation clothing is worn. A permit will only allow non-regulation items to be worn for a period of time considered sufficient to overcome the immediate difficulty.

General Information
Attendance Dues
These are set by the Hamilton Diocese. For 2010 the fees will be $340.00 per year for students in Years 7 & 8 and $680.00 for students in Years 9 to 13. Fees for 2011 have not been confirmed at this stage. Financial assistance is available for families. Please contact the Principal.
Student Conduct
All students are under the discipline of the College from the time of leaving their homes for school until they return. They are expected to show courtesy, commonsense, respect and consideration for others in their behaviour. Their speech, language, dress and manner should reflect creditably on themselves, their family and their College.
Smoking, the use of non-prescription drugs and the drinking of alcohol are strictly forbidden to students wearing the College uniform or at any function or outing organised by the College.
Absence
We appreciate parents/guardians ringing the College Office if the student is going to be absent for that day. Notes of Absence signed by a parent or guardian must be handed to the Form Teacher on the day of return to College. Dates of Absence and reason must be stated.
Leave From School
Students who require leave for any reason must apply in writing to the principal at least one week before the event.
Students may not leave the school grounds without permission. Requests to leave must be supported by a note from parents and it is expected that students move directly from and to school.
Care of Property
All clothing, books and items of personal property must be clearly named. Unless this is done return of property to owners cannot be assured. Clothing unclaimed at the end of each year will be retained as a supply of ‘loan’ garments or donated to charity.
The parents of students who wilfully or carelessly damage school property are expected to support the College policy of seeing that students make good the cost of repairs.
Textbooks and Class Materials
Students are provided with textbooks without charge or deposit. These remain the property of the College and are issued on the understanding that they will be cared for and that any loss or damage will be made good.
College Stationery
All students will be supplied with a list of stationery requirements. Families will have the opportunity of purchasing stationery from city outlets.
Cafeteria
The Cafeteria is open at Morning Interval and Lunchtime and sells a variety of food and drinks.
Lunch Passes
Lunch passes are issued at the beginning of the year. These are issued at the request of parents.
Appointments
When making appointments for students we request that they be made outside normal school times. Where this is not possible, cards for Dentist or Doctors appointments should be signed by the Form Teacher and presented to the Class Teacher when leaving. All students must sign out when they leave the College and sign in when they return. Other appointments, eg. Driving Licence lessons and haircuts are to be made out of school time.
Uniform
Campion College has a well-defined Uniform Code. Students are expected to wear the uniform with pride.
