b'Section 1Preparing for life at Emmanuel CollegeWe recognise the importance of a well-planned and organised transition program to support Year 7 students as they make the important transition from primary to secondary school. This can be an exciting but nervous journey for many, students and parents alike.Prior to enrolling with us, you may have taken the opportunity to visit Emmanuel College on one of our small group tours or at Open Day. Your son may have visited the College with their classmates in Grades 4 or 5, or you may have an older son already attending the College.This handbook is designed to answer some of the questions that arise when families begin to familiarise themselves with Emmanuel College in preparation for next year. School Uniform PolicyAll students and families should be familiar with, and be clear about, what is expected of our students regarding uniform and personal presentation. When students make a choice not to observe these standards, they are choosing to disregard College expectations and staff will be obliged to issue consequences to assist the student to be responsible for their choices.Students have a responsibility to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner in all situations, particularly where they are wearing the College uniform. We expect that students will always be well-groomed and behave with courtesy, common sense, and consideration for others. The information detailed below is also included in the Student Handbook, and students and parents are expected to be familiar with its contents.The College uniform is compulsory for all students from Year 7 to 12.
