dailystar.co.ukprivate school will be sent back to the barbers.An updated uniform policy at St Patrick's College in Ballarat, Victoria outlaws trims that are "extreme in style or colour so as to draw attention to the individual student".Hilariously, despite its zero-tolerance attitude to mullets, the school's Facebook page has proudly shared a snap of a lad sporting a 'business at the front and party at the back' mop.Just like the very much resurrected hair-do rat tails and mohawks have also been banned from the Australian boy's school with some styles even considered a safety risk.The policy reads: "Hairstyles can be a very individual way of expressing yourself and are often influenced by fashion and trends.
With this in mind, our general expectation in regard to hairstyle is that it be neat, clean and not extreme in style or colour so as to draw attention to the individual student."As a general rule of thumb hair at St Patrick's College should be "neatly cut and styled, and not be hanging over the face or eyes".Hair must be tied back if it is long enough to touch the shirt collar and it must definitely not be dyed, bleached or highlighted another colour.A very precise rule on sideburns is also being enforced, as is the minimum length required of a buzzcut.The policy continues: "Extreme styles such as mullets, rat tails, mohawks, obvious patterning, moptops, dreadlocks, cornrows, are not acceptable."Students are to be clean-shaven and sideburns are to be no longer than the bottom of the ear lobe.
