Uniform Changes – Frequently Asked Questions for 2027

As we transition to our new school uniform, we understand there may be some questions about what students need to purchase for 2027. Please see the information below.

Year 9 and 10 students (2027)

All Year 9 and 10 students will be required to wear the new school uniform.

Current Year 10 students (moving into Year 11 in 2027)

Students can continue wearing their current uniform, provided they purchase the new white uniform shirt. There is no requirement to purchase a completely new uniform.

However, students can wear a new uniform if they wish.

Current Year 11 and 12 students (moving into Years 12 and 13 in 2027)

Students can continue wearing their existing uniform as we gradually phase out the previous uniform.

Please note: There is no expectation for current senior students to purchase a completely new uniform. We will be phasing out the previous uniform gradually to make the transition as straightforward as possible for families.
