Uniform

Uniform is an important part of our school. We believe it promotes a sense of identity and establishes good working habits.

An acceptance of a place at the School implies an acceptance of our uniform and dress code. Parents and carers should be aware that students arriving in incorrect uniform, will be removed to isolation until appropriate uniform replacements have been provided.

A detailed overview of the uniform is found below:
