Uniform
Grace Lutheran College's uniforms fall under three main categories: formal, day and sports. The day or regular uniform is the uniform worn most days if a student does not have sport or requires to go on an excursion. For males, the uniform consists of long brown pants in winter, shorts in summer, with a white shirt with fine brown vertical stripes, with brown socks in winter, and cream socks with coloured striped at the top in summer, and polishable brown shoes. The female day uniform is a white dress with brown and green vertical stripes, with a four pronged 2 layered brown tie, with brown shoes and white socks. The girls also have the option of wearing their formal shirt with a white shirt with fine brown stripes for their day uniform, although not many do so. the Formal uniform for boys is a white shirt, with long brown pants, a brown tie, and for seniors a brown blazer. For girls, a brown skirt, a white shirt with the day uniform tie, light brown stockings and brown shoes are the formal uniform, with seniors able to wear a blazer also.
The sports uniform of Grace Lutheran College is varied. The normal sports uniform consists of brown shorts and a polo shirt that is mostly yellow with other colours. However, the uniform can change with seniority and sport. In Years 9–12, students participating in interschool sport have the opportunity to purchase a diamond-patterned sport shirt to indicate that they are a part of an interschool team. Students that do not wish to participate in interschool sport or have failed to make an interschool team play interhouse sport. The interhouse teams wear their house colours, either white (Pegasus), blue (Phoenix), green (Orion) or red (Antares). Year 12 students also have the opportunity to wear their senior jerseys during their sport day.
Seniors (Years 10-12) have sport on Wednesday and Juniors (Years 8 and 9) on Thursday. Also, Year 7s have their sport on Friday, in order to play interschool sport with primary schools in the area. Approximately half of the school will be wearing day uniform and the other half will be wearing sports uniform, adding to the different uniforms already on display.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“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)
“Thus for each blunt-faced ignorant one
The great grey rigid uniform combined
Safety with virtue of the sun.
Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
