Students are expected to wear full school uniform in accordance with the school rules; this means shirts should be tucked in, top shirt buttons should be done up and ties should be worn to the waist. All items can be obtained from Clive Mark. We recognise that purchasing uniform can be a difficult expense and we have a fully stocked pre-loved uniform shop.
