Secondary dress code

All students are encouraged to wear school wear with the IIL logo (dark grey jumper, white polo shirt, etc.). 

In keeping with rules of decorum, headwear of any kind (caps, beanies, etc.) must be removed upon entering school buildings.

For 6e to 4e and Year 7 to Year 9 


Students in Years 7to 9 and 6e to 4e must conform to the following dress code:

Tops

  • Plain white top with collar (polo-shirt, shirt or blouse). 
  • If needed (depending on the season) students can wear a plain black or dark grey jumper, sweatshirt or cardigan without logos or writing (brands, slogans, etc.)​


Bottoms

  • Plain black, blue or dark grey trousers, smart jeans (no holes) or skirt, or bermuda shorts in hot weather 
  • Discreet, preferably dark coloured shoes

From 3e and Year 10 onwards 


From Year 10 and 3e onwards, all students are requested to dress in such a way as to reflect the values of the school. However, as 3e ad Year 10 classes share the Secondary 1 buildings, the Institut strongly encourages the maintenance of the colour codes described above. 


Respecting the Institute's values means well-groomed presentation, a tidy appearance and clothing which is appropriate to the learning environment:

Allowed

  • Discreet make-up​

Forbidden

  • leggings
  • mini-skirts or shorts, even if worn with leggings
  • crop tops or small straps
  • visible underwear
  • clothes with holes or cuts
  • tracksuits, other than for sports lessons
  • clothes bearing inappropriate images or slogans (indecent, violent, promoting alcohol or cigarettes) or that make political or religious claims...
  • Piercings are not permitted
  • Tattoos must be covered up
  • Subtle, natural-coloured dyed hair (no pink, green, blue, etc.)

These instructions must be followed on school premises at all times of the day and on school outings.


In case of non-conformity, the Vie Scolaire reserves the right to obtain a suitable outfit for the student to attend class or to contact parents to find a suitable solution.

Physical education

IIL official sportswear (tracksuit/shorts/t-shirt) and sports shoes are compulsory for P.E. lessons and no exception will be made. 

Secondary students may bring their sportswear in a bag and store it in their locker. Students adapt their sports kit depending on the weather (tracksuit/shorts/t-shirt).

Students who forget their IIL official sportswear may be sanctioned and are not exempted from attending classes. Such situations must remain exceptional. In the case of frequent forgetfulness, new sportswear will be provided and billed to parents.

Laboratory protective equipment

Covering clothes (no shorts or open shoes), a lab coat, and protective glasses or cover glasses are compulsory in the laboratories because of frequent experiments or manipulations involving hazardous chemicals, dissections and/or Bunsen burners..
