Expectations for Appearance

Boarders should have enough uniforms for:

  • School 5 days per week
  • Sport training at least twice each week
  • Saturday sport

Boarders must satisfy the expectations that other students of the College must meet with regard to appearance. This includes being clean shaven and having an appropriate haircut at all times.

When not going ‘to and from’ school, boys may wear casual clothing around the local area – more specifically, this means that they should not ‘half change’ out of school uniform when venturing outside. Stay in uniform or make a complete change. Remember to label everything!
