Page 12 - Microsoft Word - REVIEWED ABBA GLOBAL HANDBOOK FOR STAFF

During school hours or when representing the school, members of staff are expected to
present a clean, neat, and tasteful appearance. Dressing and grooming should be according
to the requirements of individual position and accepted social standards.

The following personal appearance guidelines should be followed:
 All teaching staff are required to be corporately dressed at all times including school
events, entrance examination/interview dates except on sport day and when
decided otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, gentlemen are supposed to wear a
tie to complement the attire and ladies are meant to be in a skirt/ trouser suit or
corporate dress. No staff is allowed to wear tight or clothes that reveal sensitive
body parts. For female staff, exposure of skin above the knees, the shoulders and
the chest shall not be tolerated. Jeans, Bermuda, t-shirt, unnaturally coloured hair
and extreme hairstyles do not present an appropriate professional appearance.
When in doubt clarification should be sought from a management staff.

Personal hygiene and grooming is of prime importance at all times. Male staff at all time
must have a clean haircut and shave. Female staff must have a neat and tidy hairstyle. All
staff must trim their nails, use deodorants and change socks daily. Staff must wash their
hands after visiting ladies or gents.

 Facial jewelry, such as eyebrow rings, nose rings, lip rings, and tongue studs, is not
professionally appropriate and must not be worn during school hours.
 Multiple ear piercings (more than one ring in each ear) are not professionally
appropriate and must not be worn during school hours.
