Senior College Uniform

Years 12–13

This photo showcases some of the more commonly worn uniform combinations.

All senior students are to have red braid on their blazer and wear the Senior College tie or other approved tie. This identifies them as a member of the Senior College and marks their seniority within the College community. 

College uniform is worn at school and when travelling to and from College. Students are required to:

• wear a blazer in the street – this includes moving to and from cars;
• wear shirts tucked in with the top button and tie done up;
• wear blouses with the top button and tie done up;
• wear shorts / trousers / skirts / culottes which fit appropriately and are not too long or too short;
• wear approved clothing at Physical Education and sports practices;
• wear clean and polished black leather lace-up shoes in a conservative style with the laces tied;
• scarves may be worn to and from school but not during the school day.

Patterned or coloured T-shirts under school shirts are not permitted. Coloured socks may not be worn. 

When travelling with College teams or groups casual clothes may sometimes be approved, but only in special cases such as field trips or Outdoor Education trips.

A final decision on what constitutes good grooming will be made by the Head of Senior College in consultation with the Head of Secondary School and the Years 12 and 13 Deans.

Guidelines for Good Grooming

Hair and Grooming

Hair must not be longer than the length of the collar at the back, must fall above the eyebrow line, and should be of even length overall. It should be cut in a conservative style and not shorter than a number three comb. Sideboards must not be lower than the earlobe or wider than 2.5cm. Hairstyles that are deemed to be 'mullets' will not be allowed.

Faces must be clean-shaven.

Long hair must be tied back. Hair jewellery is not acceptable. Ribbons and ties must be blue or white. Scrunchies must be black, navy blue or white.

Hair must be clean and well-groomed, in the range of natural hair colour only and kept clear off the face and above their eyebrows. Unusual hairstyles, including streaking of hair, dreadlocks and braided hair, will not be permitted.

Jewellery

Only young women are able to wear one pair of studs or sleepers in the lobe of the ears. No other rings or studs of any type may be worn by any student. Wristbands, bracelets, finger jewellery, piercings and body art which are visible while wearing the College uniform are not permitted. Christening bracelets require special exemption from the College Chaplain. Cultural tattoos or other culturally significant items of jewellery may be approved by the Head of Secondary School on application by students.

Make-up and Nails Guidelines

Make-up and nail varnish is not part of the College uniform, and it is not to be worn at any time with school uniform or sports uniform. 

Uniform Report

If a student wears their uniform incorrectly, or their standard of appearance is below what is expected in the Senior College, they will be placed on uniform report. This means that for a period of five College days, the student must report to the Senior College Office between 8.15am and 8.30am for their uniform and appearance to be checked. If uniform report is not completed in the stipulated time, then there will be an escalation of discipline. Persistent uniform breaches will result in a student being placed on Senior College (Friday) consequence or Saturday detention.
