To support families to understand the implementation process and expectations of the uniform, a Frequently Asked Questions fact sheet has been put together.
1. Which items of school uniform have changed?
All items of the academic and sports uniform that currently carry the school emblem. Not only will these items carry the new school emblem, most have also undergone a style uplift. This is especially the case for all items of the sports uniform.
2. Which items of school uniform have not changed?
The girls’ skirts, shorts and pants will not be changing in style, colour or to include the school emblem. This is also the case for the boys’ shorts and trousers.
3. Where will the school uniform be available for purchasing?
All items of school uniform, including the sports uniform, will be sold through the Midford operated school uniform shop only. Online ordering will remain an available option for families for all items of uniform.
4. Will the girls’ pants and shorts be available through the school uniform shop?
Yes, these will be a stock item in the school uniform shop.
5. What happens if my child requires new items of uniform?
From the end of 2023 the uniform items that carry the previous school emblem will become obsolete. The new uniform will be available for all students from 2024. This means parents can purchase various items as required from the school uniform shop during the transition period.
6. Why can’t the old senior uniform be passed down to my younger child who will be in Year 11?
The introduction of the new school uniform will be expected for students in Year 7 and 8 and Year 11 and 12 in 2025.
7. Can my child wear a white t- shirt under their school uniform?
Student are allowed to wear a plain white, short-sleeved under shirt under either the boys or girls uniform items. Students are not allowed to wear long sleeve t-shirts under their uniform items.
Similar to senior students, there may be students going into Year 7 with an older sibling at the school where this opportunity to pass down some items of uniform.
In many cases, families purchase new uniform for their children going into Year 7 or Year 11. We are attempting to minimise the financial difficulty for all families with the introduction of the new uniform especially with Year 11 as they will only have a maximum of two years wearing the new uniform.
We have a Student Assistance Program that supports families in meeting the costs associated with school including uniform.
Parents can contact the school to access this support.
