Uniform Information
Students commence the year in summer uniform. As the weather is very unpredictable, students will need to have purchased the College jumper and tracksuit in conjunction with the summer uniform requirement. The College blazer and other winter uniform items do not need to be purchased until the winter season approaches. It is important to note that students require predominantly white or black sport shoes as part of the sports uniform.
