Uniform reminder
As the seasons change, a friendly reminder to families that all students are expected to wear full school uniform every day. Wearing our uniform helps create a strong sense of belonging and pride in our school community.
The following CGPS uniform items are mandatory:
- CGPS polo shirt
- CGPS jumper
- CGPS school bag
CGPS hat (required for Term 1 and Term 4)
All uniform tops must have the CGPS logo. This is an important part of ensuring our students are easily identifiable as members of our school community.
For the bottom half, families have a little more flexibility. Pants, shorts, skirts and skorts do not need to have the CGPS logo, but they must be navy or black/dark coloured. Jeans and denim are not part of the CGPS uniform and are not appropriate for school. Students may wear black school shoes or runners.
We know Melbourne weather can require a few extra layers! Coats, rain jackets and other outerwear are important for keeping students warm and dry and can absolutely be worn to and from school and outside during the day. However, underneath these outer layers, students are still expected to be wearing their CGPS school uniform.
For our Year 6 students, CGPS Year 6 hoodies are an approved part of the school uniform.
We also understand that life happens! Washing machines break, jumpers go missing and sometimes the uniform simply isn’t ready in the morning. No student is going to be in trouble because they are missing an item of uniform on the occasional day. We understand that these things happen. However, these occasions should be the exception rather than the norm, and our expectation remains that students come to school in the correct uniform every day.
Need uniform items? Second-hand uniform items are available to purchase through the school, providing families with an affordable option to replace lost or outgrown items. Keep an eye out for our second hand uniform sale coming next term.

Thank you to all our families for supporting these expectations and helping our students show their CGPS pride.
