Poncho can be worn in inclement weather over correct uniform

The College has taken on feedback from parents, our suggestion to parents and students who feel that perhaps the soft shell isn’t rain resistant enough in particular for students who ride their bikes is to use a clear plastic poncho over correct college uniform.

The below options are available from Kmart and Kathmandu, both for under $10.

Uniform FAQ's

Please see below for a revised list of some frequently asked questions about the transition to the new uniform.

Q: Can students wear the current sports top with the new tracksuit pants?

A: Yes.

Q: Will the blazer have to be worn when it is really hot?

A: No, although during terms one and four, the expectation will be that if a student requires another layer of clothing on cool days, the blazer must be the outer-most garment.

Q: What if my son’s shorts or pants become too short during 2019, do I then have to purchase the whole new uniform?

A: No. Until the end of the transitional period (Dec. 2020) new grey shorts and pants may be worn with the older white shirts.

Q: Does my child have to wear the blazer if she/he rides a bicycle to & from school?

A: Yes. If a student requires another layer of clothing on cool days, the blazer must be the outer-most garment. It may be removed on warm days whilst cycling.

Q: Will the blazer have to be worn at lunch time or when moving between classes?

A: No, but if a student requires another layer of clothing on cool days, the blazer must be the outer-most garment.

Q: If it’s raining, can the spray jacket be worn over any uniform, including over the blazer, on the way to & from school?

A: Yes, the new soft-shell jacket with the new uniform, or the old green spray jacket with the old uniform, may be worn as the outer-most layer only if it is raining.

Q: Year 12's are the only ones who don’t have to wear the blazer this year. However it is my understanding that they will not be allowed to wear the spray jacket. So, what will they wear?

A: They may wear a school jumper on cool days, and/or their bomber jacket . If it is raining, they may wear the old green spray jacket to and from school.

Q: Will year 12’s be allowed Bomber Jackets from 2019 onward?

A: Yes

Q: Will there be a new spray jacket design in future years, or will the current one continue?

A: There will be a new soft shell jacket available for use, travelling to and from the college, on days with inclement weather.

Q: Can I still use a functional working old grey schoolbag if I am in the new uniform?

A: Yes, until the end of 2020.

Q: If I am buying new a uniform, do I need to buy new sports uniform too, and vice versa?

A: No. A student may wear the old PE/PASE kit and the new summer/winter uniform, or vice versa, until the end of 2020.

Q: My child’s blazer is on back order – what should I do and what can they wear in the interim?

A: Your child may wear the college jumper in the interim, but we would ask that parents provide their child with a brief note which explains the situation.
