Uniform Expectations
What does the word uniform mean?
Why wear School Uniform?
• A uniform enables the development of friendships across the college without
prejudice.
• Saves money and enables families to budget accurately.
• Students always look presentable, are comfortable, and have increased
confidence because they know they aren’t being judged by clothing and labels.
• It gives students a sense of identity and belonging, and engages pride in the
school.
• It prepares students to dress in a ‘fit for purpose’ manner, eg a tradesperson
wearing appropriate overalls or a lawyer wearing a smart suit.
• The process of putting the uniform on every morning helps to prepare the
students mentally for the day ahead.
