Benchmark recognises that demeanor and dress communicate individual preferences and can influence student behaviour and enhance a school’s learning environment. Students are expected to dress appropriately for school – this means being clean and well-groomed in appearance, avoiding styles of dress and demeanor that disrupt the school environment or distract other students. Such limitations on a student’s taste and individuality are necessary to achieve the educational goals of the school.
All students are expected to give proper attention to personal cleanliness and to dress appropriately for school and school functions. styles that interfere with the school’s educational program and mission of the school will not be tolerated. Clothes or accessories that are indecent are prohibited. Therefore, students are expected to abide by the prescribed school uniform. Violating the dress code will result in the student’s removal from class until a parent/guardian arrives and provides appropriate attire. To prevent the loss of class time, parents /guardians are reminded to monitor their children’s attire before they leave for school.
