Code of Dress Developed in consultation with the Coláiste na hInse Parents’ Association • Full school uniform must be worn at all times. Runners are strictly forbidden. • Students will be required to wear a tie on formal occasions or as directed by the principal and staff of the school. • Hair must be clean and tidy. No distracting or outlandish hairstyles or any hair dye will be accepted. Long hair should be tied back neatly each day. Hair gel is banned. • For girls one pair of (non-hooped) small stud-sized earrings is acceptable regardless of the number of piercings. Boys are not permitted to wear any earrings. • Facial and tongue piercings are strictly forbidden. • Students are not permitted to wear make-up, nail varnish or visible tattoos. • A wrist watch is permitted for all and a small ring on each hand is acceptable for girls only. There should be no other visible jewellery. • No jacket other than the school fleece may be worn. • The Coláiste na hInse PE uniform must be worn for all PE classes and for all sporting outings. • Flat, low, leather black- shoes are recommended-runners are forbidden. • The Coláiste na hInse school uniform is striking and all partners are very proud of it. It is expected that students and parents maintain and clean the uniform to the highest standard daily and pupils wear it with bród (pride). • All uniform must be labelled clearly with student’s name. We would advise parents/guardians to place an identifiable marker e.g. small ribbon/button on the school jacket in a discreet location for easy identification. • If a student attends school without the full school uniform their parents/guardians will be contacted immediately and appropriate measures adopted as the school authorities deem fit.
