#macrobuniform

Hey,

I don’t know exact numbers as to how many people didn’t go on the bike ride on Year 9 camp but I do recall at least two people from my class didn’t know how to ride a bike so it might be a few per activity group? From memory, our activity groups were a mix of students from different forms.

As for dress length, the hem should be at the knee or just above the knee so it should be okay if it is 5 cm above the knee but just be mindful and aware that some teachers may point out if they believe your dress is too short. Hopefully this will be officially clarified once you start school.

Hey!

As part of our uniform, unnaturally coloured hair (i.e. blue, pink, green, etc.) is not allowed but dyeing your hair a ‘natural colour’ (i.e. brown, blonde, etc.) is okay. Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether or not you’ll get in trouble as every teacher will have a different opinion on what is acceptable and what is not so just go with your gut instinct on this!

Hey there,

Please check out our Year 9 FAQ (http://friendsatmacrob.tumblr.com/yr9), and the (http://friendsatmacrob.tumblr.com/tagged/macrobyearnine) tag for all things year 9. 

For information about LOTE and German specifically see the LOTE tag (http://friendsatmacrob.tumblr.com/tagged/macroblote), and this page (http://friendsatmacrob.tumblr.com/search/german)

Hope this helps!

Hey there,

Yes, there is a Mac.Rob school bag and students are welcome to bring other bags to school, as long as they are black.

Hi there,

We know it can be really frustrating when some people don’t follow the rules (unless they are out of uniform for some other thing like personal circumstances). But in the end all you can do is abide by the rules and hope that at some point other people will face the consequences for not. Even if they don’t, at least you will know you will have the moral high ground.

Love,

Hey!

Here are some places we can think of:

Dejour jeans

Target/Big W/Kmart

Op shops!!

Sorry that we can’t be of much help. Sometimes with these things you just need to get out there and look around; you never know what you might come across!

All the best,

Hey there,

When we did house cup we didn’t have to wear uniform items so as long as you’re comfortable and warm, then that’s all! Maybe wear sport-wear, leggings or something?

Hey,

We have both a sports bag and a school bag which should be available at our uniform supplier, Bob Stewart. You can only buy the school uniform from the Albert Park shop. Though buying these bags aren’t compulsory and you can use your own plain black or grey bag if you have one.
