Uniforms
All students should take pride in being members of EIA. Their uniform identifies them as such. Our uniform ensures that students are neatly and sensibly dressed. Competition and extremes of fashion are prevented. Appropriate dress is required from all students and good grooming is equally important. Parents will be contacted if the uniform worn by the students is incomplete or inappropriate. Students are not permitted to take off their school uniform during the school day unless permitted by the school administration.
Inappropriately dressed students will be asked to change promptly into a school uniform or will be sent home immediately. All teachers are instructed to send any student who is not dressed in the proper uniform to the office for parents to be contacted to bring the right uniform. If a student is still not wearing the right uniform after two warnings, they may be asked to stay at home until the matter is rectified.
Please find our student dress, appearance and grooming guidelines and policy below:
- On Fridays, boys must wear the uniform dress shirt and school necktie with the uniform pants.
- Boys' hair must be cut clear off the collar. Excessive hair gel or hair spray is not permitted. Dramatic hairstyles and/or hair colors and/or highlights are not permitted. Body piercing and tattoos are not permitted.
