The school requires a uniform for all students. Middle school (Years 7-9) and Year 10 wear the sports uniform on days with physical activity; Years 11-12 wear the full school uniform and change into the sports uniform only for sports-related lessons in the change rooms. UMS is the uniform supplier; uniforms can be ordered online or at the Firle store, with fittings recommended for new families.
