College Uniform

All students are required to wear the College uniform when attending the College and College events such as excursions. Exceptions only apply on occasions when alternative clothing has been expressly approved such as during College camps.

If students are unable to wear the correct uniform for any reason they must obtain a uniform pass from the Sub-school Leader or Year Level Coordinator prior to the commencement of Session 1. A note of explanation must be provided by parents. Refusal to comply with the uniform policy may result in disciplinary action.

For sun protection students are encouraged to wear a College peaked cap and sunscreen when outside in the College grounds as protection against the sun.

Students must:

• keep their appearance, including  uniform, well maintained, neat and clean;
• not wear their cap inside any building;
• change into the available Sport and Physical Education uniform for physical activities or classes;
• clearly name all items of uniform, including footwear to assist with return in the event of loss;
• wear any extra clothing for warmth under the uniform so that it is not visible;
• wear uniform appropriately with neatly hemmed pants;
• have their shirt and dress length no shorter than approximately 12cm above the knee.

For reasons of hygiene and safety, all students in laboratories, kitchens and workshops must have:

• Hair that exceeds shoulder length tied back.
• Enclosed footwear that does not have high or tapered heels
