Uniform Policy and Regulations UNIFORM POLICY AND REGULATIONS INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION FROM THE HEADMASTER The Knox Grammar School uniform brings a clear sense of identity and connection to both the School and the local community. The colours of our uniform, black and blue, builds this connectedness internally between students and externally to the wider community, and indeed students from other schools. The uniform represents our School's fine history and builds on our traditions. This policy provides detailed information about the School's uniform. Please take the time to read this document and ensure the traditions of the Knox and its uniform continue to be something we take great pride in. Scott James, Headmaster OVERVIEW A boy is admitted to Knox Grammar School on the understanding that his parents or guardians are sympathetic to the aims and policies of the School and will do whatever they can to ensure that he conforms to such regulations as the School deems necessary. Students and the School are judged by the general standard of each boy’s dress and appearance. Students are expected to know and comply with the dress and appearance regulations of the School. It is each boy’s responsibility to be correctly and neatly dressed, to be clean and tidy, clean-shaven, to have his shirt tucked-in at all times, and his tie neatly tied into the buttoned up collar. Parents are expected to be familiar with the information in relation to uniform requirements outlined below and to ensure that these requirements are fully observed.

  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

  • Choir School News • 3 Memories of John Scott from the Choir School Community
    Can- Dom- tate ino Choir School News A Newsletter for Alumni & Friends of Saint Thomas Choir School WINTER/SPRING 2016 ©2016 Studios Ira Lippke John Gavin Scott (1956-2015) This edition of the Choir School News is in thanksgiving for the life and witness of John Scott. Here, alumni, parents, colleagues and friends share memories and reflections of his extraordinary impact on this community. Through John’s gifts, people not only experienced music of the highest caliber, but were also drawn deeper into the mystery of God. For all of us, John’s death was a terrible shock. It has caused us to reflect on how fragile life can be. Even as we have moved forward at the Choir School, we continue to miss him and entrust him to God’s care and protection. I invite you to share in our common life through these pages. –Charles F. Wallace, Headmaster IN MEMORIAM EXCERPTS FROM FATHER MEAD’S HOMILY AT JOHN SCOTT’S FUNERAL Evensong and a recital of Buxtehude. I asked John, who was then forty-seven but had been at St. Paul’s since his mid-twenties, would he be interested in coming to Saint Thomas? He would be interested, he replied, but that if I would please understand he would like not to have to apply. Very well; would he give me his resume? Yes, he would. This was pure John. As John prepared to leave St. Paul’s, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth made him a Lieutenant of the Victorian Order (LVO) for his distinguished services to the Crown at London’s great cathedral, where John led the music for many royal and state occasions – not to mention the daily round of choral evensongs and other liturgies.

  • A Study Into School Uniform and Dress Codes in Sweden and the United Kingdom
    January 2010 Dressed for School Success: A study into School Uniform and Dress Codes in Sweden and the United Kingdom Sam Edgecombe Teaching Degree Course Work School of Social Sciences and School of Education Linnaeus University SE-391 82 Kalmar or SE-351 95 Vaxjo Supervisor: Prof. Svante Lundberg, School of Sociology, Linnaeus University. [email protected] Abstract This study highlights a number of different aspects regarding uniforms and dress codes in the United Kingdom (UK) and Sweden. The study comprises three parts: a quantitative comparison of GCSE pass rates for schools in the UK that do and do not have school uniforms, a qualitative survey study of Scottish High School pupils' perceptions about their uniform and a qualitative interview study of Swedish teachers, administrators and pupils about their school dress, rules regarding school dress and school uniforms. Regarding whether uniforms improved academic results by comparing GCSE pass rates in the UK we were unable to find conclusive evidence to suggest that schools which had uniform policies performed significantly better than other schools. Regarding Scottish pupils’ perceptions of their uniforms, pupils from lower-educated backgrounds were more likely to perceive that they were told off by teachers about not wearing the correct dress. When asked whether pupils felt more equal compared to their peers, those from lower-educated background were more likely to think that uniforms do not help to level out class difference compared to pupils from better educated backgrounds. Regarding bullying, even though uniforms existed at the school studied bullying due to what pupils wore to school still existed and pupils perceived that bullying due to other factors such as physical appearance also occurred.

  • From the Principal's Desk 2 February 2018
    2 February 2018 From the Principal’s Desk Kia ora Welcome to Menzies College 2018. This is the first newsletter for the school year and from now on will be printed fortnightly. On Wednesday morning we welcomed 67 new students and five new staff into the school with a wonderful Powhiri. It was so heartening to again, feel the spirit of the school as our other students made everyone welcome and ensured new students comfortably found their way around their new environment. The school starts the year with a roll of 323 which is a very pleasing number and a slight increase on last year but a lot more than six years ago. Thank you to the parents/caregivers that also attended on Wednesday. We look forward to working with all new parents in our community to make the best possible gains with your child. We are still finalising student and staff timetables and problem clashes will iron themselves out in the next week. An early indication of NCEA results show we are on par with expectations. The difference this year is the high quality of the results from those who passed. Our students gained 133 subject endorsements last year and 37 overall NCEA Level Endorsements, almost twice as many as the year before which at that time had been our best. We are really pleased that students value the importance of endorsements and the benefits they bring when looking for employment or tertiary study opportunities. We will host our GF Walker Awards next Friday 9 February from 2.20pm in the hall to celebrate the success of these students and also present House and Committee Leaders with their badges.

  • 2017-18 School Handbook
    2017-18 School Handbook Dear Parents, For more than two decades, Presbyterian School has cultivated confidence for a generation of critical and creative thinkers. Each and every day, members of our community are guided by the values set forth in this Handbook, focused on the deep and abiding love and respect we have for God, for His creation, and for one another. “Family, School, and Church united in the education and support of each Child” are central words in the active life of our school. Indeed, as you walk our halls and talk to members of our community, you will see that these words rise above mere rhetoric as they take root in our lives and in our relationships with each other. The contents of this Handbook should serve as a compass by which we all chart a yearly course to live, learn, play, and grow together in a safe and stimulating school environment. The core values and essential agreements described in these pages are the guiding principles that help us to encourage and nurture not only our students, but all members of our community and, ultimately, our world. Presbyterian School has staked its reputation on a fierce commitment to its mission and philosophy. Each day charismatic adults among us teach our students to think critically, communicate effectively, and develop their own strengths and talents. We do all of this anchored in the firm belief that by building a community of trust, we can support our young men and women as they begin to “stand up for what they believe and take risks throughout their lives.” We look forward to working with each and every one of you as we embrace and foster the important mission of our school.
