Wearing of the Uniform and Appearance

Apart from the designated Sports Days, the PE uniform is not to be worn to and from school. Students are to change into their PE uniforms, the break before their lesson (i.e. morning tea or lunch, etc) and out of them the break after, or if time permits at the end of the lesson. Students may only remain in PE uniform if they are playing sport for the school which starts straight after school.
