Uniform & Equipment
School uniform develops a sense of loyalty to the community which students are members, and encourages them to take a pride in their appearance. All students are expected to wear full uniform on the way to and from school.
We have kept the compulsory items of branded uniform to a minimum to enable you to source the items required as cost effectively as possible.
Pre-loved uniform is available to purchase directly from our online shop.
