Uniform
Scotch College Middle School uniform is to be worn correctly by all students and when travelling to or from the College.
When ties are worn the collar button must be done up, shirts need to be tucked in properly and shorts must be worn up near to the waist. A jumper or blazer must be worn when travelling to or from school during Autumn and Winter Term. All clothing must be clearly labelled with the student’s name.
Summer uniform must be worn in Spring Term and Summer Term. Winter uniform must be worn in Autumn Term and Winter Term. On days where the students have Physical Education they may wear their PE uniform all day, however, on rainy days the students may be required to change out of their PE uniform into a dry uniform.
Hair should be neat, tidy, clean and brushed. It must be an even cut over the head with a minimum length Number 3. Hair should not fall over the collar, eyes or ears and is to be the natural colour (no added colours or dyes).
Jewellery, such as necklaces, rings or bangles, may not be worn unless the Headmaster has given specific permission.
Occasionally the School will have Free Dress Day where students will be permitted to wear casual clothing. This is usually run as a fund-raising exercise. On these days, clothing must be clean and neat without offensive wording and enclosed shoes are to be worn.
Uniform Shop
The College operates a Uniform Shop for the convenience of parents and students. The shop is located at 43 Shenton Road, Swanbourne. The shop stocks all items of school uniform with the exception of shoes. Some individual sports items may be held by the Head of that particular sport, and students will be advised if this is the case. Otherwise, all sport uniforms can be purchased from the shop.
The Uniform Shop purchases and resells second-hand items. Current items of uniform that are in good condition, washed and ironed may be purchased by the shop if it is believed these items can be resold. We cannot guarantee to purchase all items and prices will vary depending on condition and stock levels. A second-hand form is available from the shop and on the shop’s website, detailing the seller’s name and all items included. If purchased by the shop, the amount is credited to the student’s school account.
