All students wear a uniform. Summer uniform is worn from April to November and Winter uniform from November to April. In Reception and above, students are assigned to a House, with Curie red, Maathai purple, Shackleton green, and Wing blue. In IB years (Year 12–13), students may select their own clothing within the uniform guidelines, and gender-neutral ties were introduced to promote inclusivity.
