The uniform is a sign of identity with the College and should be worn with pride. Each student is expected to be properly dressed in full uniform while at the College, travelling to and from the College and when representing the College at external functions.

The Uniform Code specifies the various items of uniform that are worn. The Code is set out in sub school sections. There is a Uniform Code for the Primary School, (Years 1 to Year 7), and Secondary (Years 8-12).

The summer uniform is worn during Terms 1 and 4. For girls, it consists of a green tartan skirt, buttercup blouse on band with the College crest on the pocket, (white blouse for Year 12), green socks with gold trim, (white socks for Year 12), plain black leather lace up shoes with black eyelets (no platforms, wedges or heels). The blazer is not compulsory during the summer months but with the tie is part of the official uniform for all formal occasions. The blazer must always be worn when the College jumper is worn outside the College grounds. The College boater is to be worn by the girls to and from school. The summer uniform for boys consists of grey shorts, grey shirt, grey socks and plain black leather lace up shoes with black eyelets. The boys are not required to wear a blazer. The tie is part of the official uniform for all formal occasions. All students must wear either the boater or sports hat when in the grounds.

All the above applies, except that the students do not wear the blazer or College boater. The students from K-3 must wear the yellow and green legionnaire cap, while Years 4-7 may wear either the legionnaire cap or the green slouch hat. As from 2005 the Pre-primary students will be wearing the College Sports Uniform all year round.

The winter uniform is worn in Terms 2 and 3. The winter uniform for girls is the same as the summer uniform with the following additions: the College blazer (Secondary only - must be worn as street dress to and from school, during Homeroom and at formal assemblies), College tie (Secondary only), College jumper, (not to be worn without the blazer when travelling to and from school), black stockings (Kolotex – silky opaques) or green socks with gold trim and plain black leather lace up shoes with black eyelets no platforms, wedges or heels. The skirt must be of an appropriate length. Boys are to wear long grey trousers. The girls may also wear grey trousers in winter; however, the skirt remains the uniform for official College functions.
