From time to time, the school has events, where students are allowed to wear non-uniform clothing. These include out-of-uniform days and sports carnivals, where they are allowed to wear house colours. On these days, it is expected that students will wear clothing that is safe and modest.
Therefore:
- Students must have fully covered shoulders
- No midriff tops
- At sport carnivals, when students can wear t-shirts in their house colours, there shouldn’t be large images or writing covering the front or back of the shirt
- Swimming costumes must be suitably modest
- No jewellery except for a watch and a maximum of one pair of silver or gold sleepers or studs (that may have a clear stone in them), no larger than 0.5cm are to be worn in the lowest part of the earlobe.
- No facial, tongue or other visible piercings
- No nail polish
- No make-up apart from a light foundation
- No facial hair (including sideburns)
- No unnaturally coloured hair, dreadlocks, mohawks or extreme hairstyles including
radical shaves, lines or patterns - Hair should not cover the face
- Skirt lengths are to be within one hand width from the top of the knee
- Clothing worn under the uniform should not be visible
- Sleeves are not to be rolled up
- Navy or red hair accessories are acceptable
- Plain navy or red scarves and gloves are acceptable on cold days
- Plain navy or red beanies may be worn for warmth when students are wearing all other applicable warm uniform options
- No religious symbols of any kind to be worn.
- Traditional style school shoes – plain black, polishable leather, lace-up shoes with black laces (or Velcro for infant students)
- Shoes must cover the full instep and be below the ankle; they must not be boots
- No soft uppers or holes punched completely through the shoe

To meet work health and safety requirements, school shoes must provide physical protection to the foot in case of liquid spills or falling objects. The bridge of the foot must be covered.
- Supportive joggers are to be worn with the sports uniform. These should be lace-up or can be Velcro for infant students.
- A full leather upper is recommended
As enclosed footwear with a full leather upper is required in high school specialist rooms, students with non-leather sports shoes will be required to bring their leather school shoes on sports days. Students are therefore encouraged to consider leather upper sports shoes in high school.
