Uniform
The five years are each represented in the school's uniform by coloured bands on the ties; as of September 2012, these are Green(Year 7),Silver(Year 8), Yellow(Year 9), Blue(Year 10), and Red(Year 11), for years 7 through 11 respectively. The uniform also includes a blazer with an additional jumper, which is not compulsory. Prefects are given ties which include all five of these colours. The senior prefects are in turn given a band of a certain year, to whom they have to help; the bands are then sewed on to the cuffs of the blazer. The Head of Student Voice (who leads the school council) receives stitchings to the cuffs of the blazer, showing each year colour that belongs to the school.

Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
