If you are a student at a non-government school, then there may be different consequences that arise for you to that of a student attending a government school. Students at private schools will need to refer to their school’s code of conduct and dress code.
If you are a non-complying student at a government school, there are different consequences depending on whether you are at Primary School or Secondary School.
Primary School
You may be prevented from attending any activity where the school is represented (inter- school sports carnival) or prevented from attending or participating in any school activity which is not an essential part of your education (e.g. excursions, incursions, etc.).
Secondary School
You may be committing a breach of school discipline and subject to the school’s discipline procedure such as being restricted in participation in a school activity or activities, or detention (but not suspension or exclusion). You will, however, not be prevented from attending or participating in any school activity which is an essential part of your education.
