New College Uniform
All students are expected to wear the full and correct College uniform each day as outlined below. The uniform is to be worn appropriately and should reflect the personal pride each student has in themselves and their school. The student’s uniform is to be clean and maintained in good repair at all times. Transition to New Uniform As we transition to a new uniform code, there are different requirements for specific levels over a three year period from 2025 – 2027 inclusive. Whilst we are in a transitioning phase, current students may be in a hybrid of old and new styles, for example, they may purchase College navy shorts to replace College grey shorts. Year 7 and 10 students however, from the beginning of 2025, must wear the new uniform style, with the exception of the jumper and soft shell jacket. All new items of College uniform are available from Noone’s Uniforms, Corio St, Shepparton. In 2025:
