Depends on the dress code. The article says there is nothing about a shaved head, but there might be parameters on hair length. Seems though that it is not a clear cut as the media presents.

Dear parents and carers, staff and students and friends of Mount Alvernia College
I write with reference to the media reports of the suspension of a student from Mount Alvernia yesterday. Sadly for our college community, the media reports that have been aired do not accurately represent the situation. We value and respect the rights of every young woman in our community and we will continue to respect this student’s right to privacy by not making public details of the disciplinary issues involved.
As a Franciscan school our philosophy is to actively assist those in need and we do this on a daily basis. It is distressing that necessary caring guidance provided to this student over a range of issues has been misrepresented. Her father’s illness has been known at the college and we have continued to actively support the student and her family throughout the years they have been associated with the college. It is unfortunate that this head shaving incident has received wide publicity when all the facts are not known.
The college has guidelines on fundraising and has in the past allowed students to shave their heads to raise money for cancer. We have an active Outreach programme at the college where funds are raised for all sorts of causes, the most recent being $800 raised by Year 12 students for Breast Cancer. Over the course of this year, the students at Mount Alvernia College have raised in excess of $14,000 for causes such as leukaemia, the bush fires, our sister schools in Egypt and Papua New Guinea, Daffodil Day, Colour for a Cure, St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal, Project Compassion, Tatts and Tiaras. We are currently undertaking to supply 32 local families with Christmas hampers as part of the annual St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal. All students are actively encouraged to participate in these organised school activities which are centred on our Franciscan values.
As leader of this community I have found this situation very difficult when the full facts of the situation were not able to be revealed. I ask for your continued prayerful support for all in our community including this young woman and her family and can assure you that we will continue to work towards building our educational community in the spirit of Francis, Clare and Elizabeth Hayes.
