The Hamilton and Alexandra College is a co-educational day and boarding School located in Hamilton , in the south west of Victoria in Australia. The College has two campuses within Hamilton. The Chaucer Street Campus encompasses the Senior School accommodating students from Year 7 through to Year 12. A separate 14 hectare property, "Myrniong", contains the Boarding Houses, Junior Campus and Equestrian Centre and is situated one and a half kilometres from the Senior Campus. Established in 1871, the College has a long history of academic excellence and a tradition of high achievement. With emphasis on small class sizes, the College provides a nurturing yet challenging environment for students from the Early Learning Centre through to Year 12. The College is infamous throughout Hamilton for its extremely strict views and rules, regarding certain policies the school has in place. Most notably, their policy on male haircuts, which does not permit any length in students hair, and therefore leads to regular haircuts for nearly all male students. The policy on hair colouring is also abnormally strict, however, most students with coloured hair are able to get away with simply a warning, or nothing at all. It's rumoured that if a student does not have their hair cut to standard, the headmaster takes the student to a local hairdresser, who is then instructed to give the same cut as the headmasters, however this is yet to be confirmed. The School is Hamilton's leading educational facility, with some of the highest Enter scores in the state. |
