Leading by Example

In Year 6 we have talked a lot about leadership and responsibility.  I have been reminding my fabulous class how important it is to lead by example, and that all the younger students do look at us for 'what to do and what not to do'.  This makes it really important how we present ourselves.

Mrs Bennett shared a uniform reminder with the students at Assembly this morning, in regards to appropriate earrings. It's always great at the start of the year to check the 'little items' as well as the big. Here is a list of a few items for which there will  be reminders over the next couple of weeks.  

Girls:

Hair must be tied back if longer than the shoulders. Only navy blue or black hair elastics may be worn.

Hair ribbons – School ribbons only; white with Summer uniform, blue with Winter uniform.

Earrings are to be either plain gold or silver ball studs (No coloured /shiny stones, patterns or designs).

Nail polish is not to be worn to school.

Boys:

Hair is required to be off the collar and not falling in eyes or tucked behind ears.

This is a bit of a 'heads up' for us as Year 6.  Let's be ready with all of this in place, so that when it is mentioned at lines, we are already showing the best possible examples of presentation for the younger years.  

Parents, I just wanted to let you know that this was happening so that you can best support your children in rising to the expectations of leadership - thank you.
