Learning is a demanding activity. What we wear can be distracting, attention grabbing, or an indication that we are fooling around, or it can be comfortable, respectful, and an indication that we are serious. For this reason, students and staff at the Dragon Academy have agreed on the following dress code.

Please wear:

• Solid colours, stripes or abstract patterns
• Respectable trousers, jeans, shorts (at least mid-thigh length), or skirts in your proper size (Please wear bicycle shorts or leggings under your skirts)
• Sweaters or dressy sweatshirts
• Dress shirts, polo shirts, interlock turtlenecks, or plain pocket t-shirts
• Comfortable shoes or sandals.

• Physical Drama and Gym: You will need plain, loose clothing for physical activities; t-shirts, active wear pants. We hope you have a boring bathing suit (no two-piece suits please).

• Shoes: Remember your own comfort and that of others. Clean socks and shoes are a good idea.

• Hygiene is very important. Make sure that you shower or bathe regularly, that your hair is clean, that you wear deodorant, and that you take good care of your hands.

Please do not show up wearing:

• Torn or frayed items of any kind, including cutoffs
• Slogans, ads, large logos or graphics (Something that can be hidden behind a business card is acceptable and maybe unavoidable in an age where advertisers want you to be a billboard)
• Visible underwear of any sort
• Hoods or hats, with the exception of religious head covering (your own religion)
• Shirts without sleeves
• Revealing clothing (all cleavage must be under cover. Only your mother should know about your bellybutton)
• Bizarre or distracting hairstyles (watch out for spikes).
• Avoid bringing really stinky old shoes into the Dragon.
• Stilettos, thigh-high black boots, and other interesting items are not good school wear.

Remember that you are going to school, not hanging out or clubbing. Something may be in, or your, without being appropriate school wear. We remind you that the Dragon Academy is a peaceful, cooperative community. Anything which might be construed as a weapon is absolutely unacceptable.
