A Melbourne private school has been criticised for introducing coronavirus face mask guidelines that suggest students can only wear plain masks in colours which match the college uniform.

Lighthouse Christian College in Keysborough, in Melbourne's south-east, has told the school community students should adhere to specific school face mask guidelines, according to a video shared with parents, including through Facebook, last week.
