Uniform Policy
Newlands College is a uniform school. Students are expected to follow the dress standards and to wear their uniform with respect for themselves and pride in their school. Parents are asked to support and uphold the regulations regarding uniform. The school logo, displayed on the school jersey, represents many things. The torch represents enlightenment and passing down knowledge; the book represents knowledge itself; and the stars represent the crux, or southern cross, as seen on the New Zealand flag.

Famous quotes containing the words uniform and/or policy:
“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)
“War is regarded as nothing but the continuation of state policy with other means.”
—Karl Von Clausewitz (1780–1831)
