A few reminders:
Uniform
Students in Years 9–12 are expected to wear the correct school uniform each day. Our uniform includes a wide range of items, and support is available for students who need to borrow uniform items.
- The GBHS short skirt has the school logo on the bottom hem.
- The GBHS long skirt does not have a split.
- Socks must be plain black.
- Any undershirts must be white.
- A full description of uniform requirements is available on the school website.
Cellphones
If a student chooses to bring a cellphone to school:
- It must be switched off and in their bag by the start of Period 1.
- It must remain in their bag until the end of Period 5.
- Phones must be kept in the student’s own school bag.
- Phones should not be connected to smartwatches.
- Accessories such as earbuds, AirPods, or headphones must also remain in bags during the school day.
Phones are brought to school at the student’s own risk. The school is not responsible for loss or damage. Students with approved exemptions will be issued a physical pass by Deputy Principal Sandy Begg, and this will be recorded on KAMAR.
Support
If a student needs support with settling back into school, our pastoral and guidance teams are available. Families are welcome to make contact if they have any concerns.
Attendance
Regular attendance is important in supporting student learning and wellbeing. If a student is unwell or unable to attend school, please notify the school using the usual absence process.
A note for parents and caregivers
If you need to get an urgent message to your child during class time, please contact Student Services on 817 8173 ext 205.
