General guidelines and rules:

  1. Sensible choices of these items are made according to weather conditions.  Black shoes should be worn in Winter in particular for health and safety reasons.

  2. On some occasions students will need to dress formally.  Formal uniform is made up of a College blazer, a white shirt, the College skirt or black pants or Ie Faitaga, and the correct school footwear (see above).

  3. When students are travelling to and from school we recommend that they wear their College blazer. 

  4. Plain, predominantly black, bags or satchels are required.

  5. Hair should be of a natural colour.  If the hair is longer than shoulder length it must be tied neatly back with a black or white ribbon or hair ties.

  6. Jewellery - A watch is permitted.  If students wish to wear a crucifix necklace or a piece of greenstone (pounamu)/bone Taonga that is acceptable.

  7. Piercings - one stud in each earlobe and one small nose stud is allowed.  If a student has other body piercings, these must be free of studs during the school day.  

  8. Make up and nail polish are not permitted.


Permission for the variation to this Uniform Code must be sought from the Principal.  Written submissions may be made on the basis of religious, cultural, ethnic or health considerations.
