Uniforms | Information Handbook 2 1

Introduction

The School uniform is the most visible symbol of identity for boys at St Peter’s College. It is expected that all boys take pride in their appearance and ensure their uniform is well-fitted, clean, neat and worn in a dignified and respectful manner during the school day, and while travelling to and from the School.

The Uniform Handbook has been developed to help boys and parents understand how to wear the uniform correctly. It explains the uniform policy and provides details about the school uniform shop. The handbook is divided into the following sections: ELC, Junior School and Senior School. Each section details the correct uniform options for winter, summer, PE and co-curricular activities.

There may be occasions as designated by the School, (for example School excursions or photos) when you will be provided with notification for the full formal uniform to be worn. Occasionally, you will also receive notification of days when the boys are exempt from wearing the School uniform (for example, casual days and school camps). On these occasions it is still expected that the boys be neat and take pride in their appearance.
