Uniform Rules & Appearance

​

  • Students must wear regulation uniform in the College, going to and from the College and at all College functions and representative events, unless otherwise permitted by the Principal. Students must adhere to the College regulations regarding their personal appearance as stated in the Rules for Uniform and Appearance.

  • All items of uniform should be labelled with the student’s name. Students who lose items of uniform should check Lost Property in the Dining Hall.

  • All students must wear a blazer coming to and going from the College. • Heels on shoes should be a maximum of 3 cm. Only black laces are permitted.

  • Black denim-type jeans are not acceptable. If students wish to wear a belt, it must be plain black. • Subtle make-up is permitted in Year 10-14. Nails should be natural in colour.

  • Only school appropriate hairstyles are permitted. Any student who requires further direction about what is an appropriate hairstyle must consult his/her Head of School before any changes are made.

  • For health and safety reasons, long hair must be safely tied back for work in a Science laboratory or Technology workshop. Students may wear one plain ring and/or a plain pair of studs/ sleepers (one in each ear lobe). Nose piercings and other piercings must be replaced with a clear stud during the school day.
