Students must wear correct school uniform when in attendance at school. Should for some reason this not be possible, a brief note of explanation is expected. The school stocks a range of uniforms and students who persistently fail to meet uniform requirements will access these uniforms on a short term loan. On certain occasions such as excursions, permission will be granted to wear appropriate clothing other than the uniform.
The full range of the correct school uniform is available at the school tuckshop.

For those parents who wish to purchase uniforms elsewhere or to make their own, a full, detailed description of the correct school uniform is available at the Tuckshop or the school Office. Secondhand uniforms are sometimes available at the Tuckshop.
Make-up and jewellery are not part of the school uniform and must not be worn. Safety and presenting oneself in a business-like manner are always considerations.
In the interests of health, safety and tidiness, students with long hair are asked to wear it tied back.
Footwear
Departmental regulations forbid entry to certain classes if students are not wearing adequate footwear. All students are exposed to work in curricular areas where they may encounter serious injury to their feet either through a sharp instrument falling, or by the spilling of hot or corrosive liquids. Such areas are Manual Arts workshop, Home Economics rooms, Science laboratories and Art practical areas. In terms of Safety Standards prescribed by legislation, the Department of Education has indicated that, when working in these areas, students must have footwear providing adequate protection and covering the entire feet. Footwear such as thongs, sandals or shoes with openings at the toes or heels shall not be worn. Shoes having predominantly canvas uppers are inadequate protection.
Because students need “runner” type soles for physical education and sports, the footwear requirements in this school are a compromise ensuring safety, comfort and suitability for all school activities. Hence, the footwear requirements are runners with either leather or solid vinyl top to ensure usage in all areas as well as safety provisions. Black is the preferred colour.
Hats
Caps in school colours are available at the Tuckshop.
Students should have hat protection while playing sport or doing outdoor activities. Sunscreen is available for students who request it.
