Enhancing Clarity on Uniform Policies
To ensure that all students adhere to the school’s uniform standards, MyDiary worked with Gladstone Park Secondary College to redesign their college uniform section. This included a particular emphasis on the correct footwear for physical education and sport. By providing clear, high-quality images and detailed descriptions, we made it easy for students and parents to understand and comply with these expectations.
Emphasising Student Expectations
Recognising the importance of clear communication regarding student expectations, we designed a bookmark insert that succinctly outlines these standards. This handy reference tool helps students stay aware of what is expected of them in various aspects of school life, reinforcing the school's high standards and commitment to student success.
