The Uniform
The school colours are green and red. The uniform consists of a green sweater with a slim black-and-white neckline. The girls may choose between a long-sleeved grey-and-white blouse in the winter, which can be worn throughout the duration of the school year, or a white short-sleeved summer blouse. With the grey-and-white striped blouse, one must wear a red tie. The girls must wear a green A-line skirt. With the winter blouse, the girls may wear grey socks, or black tights, but only socks may be worn with the white blouse.
The school was once known as Gordonville and girls could board in Spring Gardens. It is now fitted with modern technology and girls can no longer board.

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)
“He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
