We expect all our students to come to school with the correct uniform and equipment, ready to learn. The following sections provide information on our school uniform, what equipment we expect students to have and our mobile phone rules
Please wear our uniform with pride
We take great pride in the appearance of our students and in the co-operation of parents on this matter. We feel that this has helped the general discipline and tone of the school. Fashion items are not part of the school uniform; please see below for further guidance. The overriding factor in our choice is that students should wear safe, practical clothing, which reflects a smart, dignified appearance. The school reserves the right to take disciplinary action against any student whose uniform does not comply with these requirements.
The school will be the final arbiter on what is deemed to be acceptable as school uniform.
All students must be in school uniform from Years 7 – 11 inclusive.
