We are so pleased to confirm that we now have all our new uniform stocked and in store at Crockers, Ballarat. Thanks to all of our families for their patience and understanding during this time. The feedback we have received so far about our new uniform has been overwhelmingly positive.

As part of our new uniform we have blue puffer jackets, ties and vests and we are thrilled to be the first school in the Central Highlands to stock these items. Students have commented on how warm they are and they sure do look very smart and professional wearing them.

Wearing our school uniform is all part of encouraging a sense of pride and belonging amongst our students, as well promoting a positive image of our school in the community.

This week our uniform co-ordinator, Mrs Hinton, has been visiting form groups to explain our uniform rationale and process as well as sharing photos of what our uniform looks like.

Please support us by encouraging your child to wear their full school uniform every day.

We are excited to share some photos of our new school uniform. Thanks to our models, Myles, Sophie, Jaelyn, Billie and Jett.

Uniform Policy

It is the policy of Beaufort Secondary College that all students wear our school uniform. Students must wear the uniform on each school day as well as to and from school and the uniform must be presentable at all times. Students are to wear their uniform during sporting events, excursions and when representing the College. The uniform has been designed for easy maintenance, student comfort and student protection.

By having a compulsory uniform Beaufort Secondary College aims to:

Encourage a sense of pride and belonging amongst our students
Promote a positive image of our school in the community
Identify our students as belonging to BSC
Develop a mutual respect amongst students by minimising visible evidence of economic or social differences
Account for health and safety risk/s in student participation in curriculum activities

These ultimately reflect our school’s values of Respectful Relationships, Excellence and High Expectations.

Furthermore, BSC is committed to supporting a positive transition into meeting workplace expectations. This means that:

Earring studs or small earring sleepers may be worn; discreet necklaces are acceptable
The only facial piercing permitted is a small nose stud. Students will be asked to remove all other facial piercings
Students’ hair must be of a natural colour and tied back if past shoulder length
Any tattoos must be covered at all times
Make up and nail polish should be discreet and natural
Skirts, dresses and shorts should be kept at an acceptable length – between the knee and mid-thigh
Out of uniform clothing that can be seen under the uniform is not acceptable e.g. hooded tops.

When the full uniform cannot be worn for some reason, parents are asked to provide a note. Students not wearing correct uniform may be provided with a uniform to wear for the day.
