Hair:
Hair is to be clean, tidy and controlled, of acceptable length, style and a natural hair colour.
All students with hair below collar length are required to have it tied back when involved in activities with health and safety requirements. The hair style will not be unusual and should be appropriate to a school which has a uniform. Braided hair must be tied back and any beads must be the same colour as the hair.
Beards and Moustaches:
Boys must be clean-shaven daily. Moustaches, shadow beards or beards are not permitted. Exceptions for religious reasons must have written permission from the Principal.
Hair bands and Headbands:
Hair bands and Headbands must be black or dark navy blue. No bandannas are permitted.
All clothing, books, bags and other property should be clearly marked with the student’s name, to reduce the chance of theft and for ease of identification. Items not needed for a day’s work at school should not be brought to school.
ShortsRegulation navy poly/cotton drill shorts can be worn with the regulation belt.
TrousersRegulation navy poly/wool trousers with regulation belt. Trousers will be worn at waist level. Leg length to be worn above heel of shoe.
BeltRegulation black leather with plain buckle.
ShirtRegulation short or long sleeved poly/cotton check to be worn out (unless under a jersey). Year 13 only: regulation crisp long sleeved white shirt.
The dress uniform (sometimes referred to as 'Number Ones') is used by students for formal events and by some senior sports teams (e.g. 1st XI Football). Prefects will often be required to wear a dress uniform such as when they are presenting at assembly or representing the college.
Students may buy the uniform. Alternatively the college keeps a supply of dress uniforms to loan students for one-off events.
Students must wear a separate PE uniform to their PE classes.
All students representing the College are required to be dressed correctly in the full uniform of the team, otherwise they may not participate. Details for each sports code will be available from team coaches as at the beginning of each sports season.
Some teams provide all or part of the uniform (e.g. basketball singlets) for students to use through the season. This tends to occur in senior teams where uniforms require a number on them. Other teams (e.g. junior teams) wear a general sports uniform which is sold from the Uniform Shop.
The following sports codes require a regulation navy and teal sleeveless top:
Basketball and Touch Rugby receive their tops through the Sports Office.
The following sports codes require a regulation navy and teal short sleeved top:
The following sports codes require a regulation navy sports skort:
