Uniform
A new uniform was introduced in 2007 to year 7 and was gradually integrated throughout all years, becoming compulsory for all students in the academic year 2009/10. The old uniform of a bottle green jumper and skirt with a light peach blouse and blue / green striped tie was changed to a white shirt, black jumper and green tartan skirt. An option of bottle green trousers was also created.

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)
“We know, Mr. Weller—we, who are men of the world—that a good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
