40. Exception-standards of dress and behaviour



(1) An educational authority may set and enforce reasonable standards of
dress, appearance and behaviour for students.

(2) In relation to a school, without limiting the generality of what
constitutes a reasonable standard of dress, appearance or behaviour, a
standard must be taken to be reasonable if the educational authority
administering the school has taken into account the views of the school
community in setting the standard.
