The choir uniform must be worn with black socks and black school or dress shoes.
A choir hair ribbon is worn with the uniform and girls wear their hair neatly tied back to every rehearsal. Only jewellery to be worn are small stud earrings and watches.
In the younger levels a navy bag is used to transport music or shoes. In Concert, Camerata and Performing, a navy blue/pink back-pack with the choir logo is compulsory. Younger girls may choose to purchase one of these bags prior to entry to the older levels.
For many years the choir uniform comprised navy blue culottes, navy blue stockings, black lace up shoes and pale pink polo shirt (with embroidered choir logo) with navy blue embroidered jumper.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Odors from decaying food wafting through the air when the door is opened, colorful mold growing between a wet gym uniform and the damp carpet underneath, and the complete supply of bath towels scattered throughout the bedroom can become wonderful opportunities to help your teenager learn once again that the art of living in a community requires compromise, negotiation, and consensus.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“When a uniform exercise of kindness to prisoners on our part has been returned by as uniform severity on the part of our enemies, you must excuse me for saying it is high time, by other lessons, to teach respect to the dictates of humanity; in such a case, retaliation becomes an act of benevolence.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
