Uniform Requirements 2022 Updated

Uniform Requirements

Where the College has a concern with a student fulfilling these uniform requirements, final decisions regarding what is considered appropriate College uniform, the presentation of that uniform, the wearing of jewellery and accessories, makeup, colouring and hair styles etc. will be at the sole discretion of the College. Staff will require the immediate removal of inappropriate jewellery, accessories (including non-school jackets and hoodies) and make up. Consistent wearing of incorrect uniform may result in the child being sent home until the issue is rectified. Any changes to these uniform requirements are conducted officially through the Uniform Committee. The committee welcomes feedback and suggestions. We do want our students to look good and wear their uniform with a sense of pride and care.

Physical Education uniform:

SCC Polo shirt
Navy SCC sports shorts or trackpants (sports leggings are not acceptable)
White socks – No large emblems (clearly covering and not below the ankle)
Shell jacket and/or rugby jumper.
Team Sports Uniforms are now available for Athletics, Netball, Basketball and Soccer. SCC bathers for girls are also available for purchase with the boys bathers available soon.
Sneakers with non-marking soles suitable for sports (not skate shoes, Converse Chuck Taylor or Volley-style shoes)

NOTE: Please note that sports ‘leggings’ are not acceptable as part of the PE uniform.

Blazers

All secondary students are required to wear blazers with their dress uniform in Terms 1 and 4. Students may choose to wear their Blazer or Softshell jacket in Terms 2 and 3. These should be worn to and from school, to classes and assemblies. Blazers do not need to be worn for physical activity at recess and lunch time.

School Shoes

The College’s policy is that students should be wearing black leather lace up dress shoes. The “Mary-Jane” style of buckle or Velcro shoes is acceptable for PRIMARY girls only. The shoes must be polishable. Many of the sneaker style school shoes are not acceptable – particularly the black Volleys and Skate shoes. Below are some examples of acceptable shoes.

When making your school shoe selection, please follow these guidelines. Students may carry sneakers on other days where they may be involved in lunchtime sporting activities.

School Bags (for all students) can be purchased from the Uniform Shop.

Socks

Students must wear appropriately coloured socks (see uniform notes below). The socks must cover students’ ankles. Large logos on socks are not acceptable.

Softshell Jackets and Rugby Jumpers

Students may elect to wear either the Softshell Jacket or the rugby jumper with their P.E. uniform. Softshell Jackets may be worn with the Secondary formal uniform in Terms 2 and 3 and for primary students, softshell jackets can be worn throughout the year for extra warmth.

Hair

All students’ hair needs to be neat. All primary students are required to wear their hair up and back off the face if their hair length is below their collar. All secondary students are required to ensure that hair does not cover the face and must ensure that it is tied back for all practical subjects. Hair may include a ribbon or school coloured (gold, white or navy) hair tie or head band but no extra adornment of jewellery in hair. Hair colour should be natural colours (i.e. blond, brown, black). Dreadlocks and extreme colouring are not acceptable.

Make up

Secondary girls’ make-up should neither be extravagant nor noticeable. Eyeliner should be very faint and nail polish can be clear, but bright colours are not acceptable.

Jewellery

Students may wear:

1 plain, small pair of studs or sleepers in the lobe of the ear
A watch
1 simple, discreet ring
1 simple necklace (must be able to be tucked into shirt/dress)

Students will be required to remove any additional jewellery.

Headwear

In Terms 1 and 4, the only acceptable headwear is SCC school hats consistent with our SunSmart policy. They must be worn outside at morning tea and lunchtime in Terms 1 and 4. Other hats are not to be worn with the uniform.
In Terms 2 and 3, students may wear SCC navy beanies (see details below).

Additional Winter Items

A navy or white, long-sleeved t-shirt may be worn below the polo shirt in winter or cooler weather.
Beanies and scarves are available for purchase from the Uniform Shop. School scarves and beanies may be worn throughout the day. Other scarves and beanies may be worn to and from school but must be plain navy.

Secondary Formal Uniform

In Terms 1 and 4 Secondary students are to wear blazers to and from school, to assemblies, on excursions and to classes. Students may choose to wear their Blazer or Softshell Jacket in Terms 2 and 3.
In summer, secondary girls may choose to wear the dress or winter skirt and blouse with white ankle length socks.
Softshell Jackets are not to be worn with the dress uniform in Terms 1 and 4.
