Secondary - Grub Days

Saltus supports many charities and events which usually result in one to two ‘Grub Days’ a term where students may dress in their casual clothes. On days when the uniform is not
required (i.e., grub days), students may not wear clothing that undermines the School’s commitment to maintaining a safe and inclusive learning environment. Should a student fail to meet this expectation, they will be addressed about the specific dress code concern in a discreet and respectful manner. They may be asked to adjust their attire (e.g., covering up) or return home and change. Grub day clothing cannot promote the use of tobacco, illegal drugs or alcohol; advocate illegal activity; denigrate or promote hatred of a person or persons. Clothing may not be worn that contains profanity, pornography or obscene images. Mid-thigh length shorts and/or skirts may be worn. They should be worn no higher than mid-thigh. Pants, skirts and shorts are to be worn around, not below the waist. Tops are required to cover the chest, back and midriff. No strapless, backless, or cropped tops are to be worn. At no time should undergarments be showing. Clothing must conform to health or safety requirements, including requirements arising from participation in specialised programmes and events. (i.e., DT, Science & PE).

Off Campus Conduct

School rules, regulations, and guidelines apply to all students at any time when they are on school property or at school sponsored activities. We urge all members of our community to honour the Code of Conduct in their private lives as well. We view conduct outside of school and school-sponsored activities as the responsibility of the parents and students. It is not policy to monitor or regulate private conduct that does not involve the school unless conduct is brought to our attention that constitutes unsafe behaviour of a student, or otherwise serves to disrupt the harmony of the School community. This includes and applies to students’ use of computers, internet, and social media off campus.
