CABINET NOTES – The Minister of Education presented a draft Student Hair Policy given the differences in practice that have been identified within several public schools.

The policy signals that school rules should not discriminate against students based on the natural texture, length or natural colour of the students’ natural hair.

This rule would not preclude extensions, but brightly artificial coloured hair that does not occur in nature will likely be deemed unacceptable.

Their hair should be neat, groomed, clean and orderly in its presentation. Further hair should not pose a health risk to the wearer or others and cannot be a distraction to the general school population.
