School Uniform

General Information

The school is proud of its uniform and expects it to be worn correctly at all times. When students are in school uniform, school rules apply. Correct official uniform is required for:

  • Attendance at school
  • Travelling to and from school
  • Attendance at school functions away from school (sports tours, cultural and social visits)

Incorrect uniform, or a mixture of school uniform, sports gear and civilian clothes, is not acceptable in the street. After school, particularly after a sports practice, students may either change into correct uniform, or go home in sports gear. Students not in the correct uniform are required to have a note from home explaining the reason for the discrepancy and the note is to be handed to the house leader for approval no later than 9.00 am on the day concerned.

All items of the uniform should be clearly labelled with the student’s name and house.

Hair

Students are expected to wear their hair styled in a reasonably conventional way. Hair must be kept tidy throughout the normal activities of a school day.

Unnatural colours, or extreme colouring, or streaks and patches of colour, are not permitted.

Girls' hair must not hang below the shoulders and must be clear of the face and eyes. Plain red, white or blue ribbons and clips may be worn by girls to contain the hair. Plain clips or bands may also be worn in colours that match the natural hair colour. Long hair must be tied up or back.

Boys' hair must be well clear of the face and not below the top edge of the collar. Boys may not wear their hair tied up or back. Shaved or extreme styles are not permitted. Boys must be clean-shaven.
