Uniform Information
Formal Uniform
The formal uniform for students is worn daily throughout the year. During Terms 2 and 3, the blazer and tie are worn. The changeover to the formal winter uniform usually takes place a few weeks into Term 2, as dictated by the weather at the time. Students and families are given advance notice of this change. Plain black leather lace-up are to be worn to school and are available from the Uniform Shop if required.
Sports Uniform
All students wear the College sports uniform on Tuesday.
The expectation for all students with regard to sports uniform and PE lessons will remain the same – students change for their practical lessons and change back into their formal uniform at the end of that lesson. Days for sport uniform will be articulated to students according to their timetabled HPE classes and interschool sport days.
Grooming Expectations
Hair
We take pride in our appearance and will ensure that hair is neat, tidy and cut in a conservative style. Outlandish hair styles or unnatural looking hair (bleached or dyed) is not part of our College standards.
Hair must be kept neat, clean and tidy, away from the face. If hair touches the collar or covers the eyebrows, it must be tied back with an appropriate hair tie. Shoulder length hair or longer is to be tied back with bands (neutral, white, navy or maroon) and may be covered with ribbons in the College colours. Other hair fasteners are to be unobtrusive. Hair is to be off the face, and not hanging across, or in, the eyes.
Hairstyles are to be conservative and conform to the shape of the head. Excessiveness in style, colour, gel/product, or cut, which the College deems as extreme, will not be tolerated.
The following hairstyles are NOT permitted: Hair which is obviously not of a natural colour; Cuts that make the scalp visible (nothing under a three blade); Extreme undercuts; Extreme differences in the length of hair within a style cut are not appropriate; Patterns cut into the hair, including eyebrows.
