    Departmental Policy
    As a department, we expect that students will bring full college P.E. kit whether they are taking part or excused.  A student will only be excused following a note or contact with a parent/guardian explaining the reasons behind the student being excused.  A student will receive a kit mark for each time they are missing a part/all of their kit, three kit marks will constitute a detention.
