Uniform

Our school uniform is an important part of school life. It enables our students to feel pride in their school and to be part of a successful community.

All students must wear the correct uniform. Our uniform is breathable and also provides warmth and comfort. A number of options are available, including long sleeved shirts, trousers and jackets.  Full uniform must be worn to and from school. Non-regulation clothing must not be worn.

From 2026, we have a NEW school uniform.  All Year 7 students and new students to the school MUST wear this new uniform. 
From 2027, all students will be required to wear our new uniform.

Our school uniform is supplied through NZ Uniforms.  Please click onto the NEW UNIFORM 2026 tab.
