<h2>After being called out publicly last month, Aranmore Catholic College (ACC) in Leederville (Perth) has welcomed back 15-year-old Sanya Singhal after 6 weeks of exclusion.</h2>
<p>The girl is now allowed to wear her nose stud uncovered, her mother told the West Australian this week. Hindu statesman Rajan Zed called it a &#8220;teachable moment&#8221; and released a statement demanding that the school&#8217;s <em>Uniform and Grooming Guidelines</em> &#8220;should be amended accordingly for future&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was shocking for the hard-working, harmonious and peaceful WA Hindu community, who had made lot of contributions to the state and society, to receive such signals of maltreatment.&#8221;</p>

<p>The school was lambasted by the president of the Universal Society of Hinduism for allegedly removing the teenager because she was wearing a cultural nose stud.</p>
<p>Sanya&#8217;s mother previously told the newspaper: &#8220;They have exceptions for the Islamic girls by allowing them to wear their headscarf, but we were told our cultural needs are not relevant.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>School News</em></strong> originally reached out to ACC and principal Declan Tanham directly to clarify the situation and include their response but received no reply. </p>
