In winter, girls may wear a short sleeved white blouse or a long sleeved white blouse with a tie as above. A heavier, dark green, red and white skirt is worn with black stockings and black leather shoes. Green jumpers are worn for girls in Years 5–11 and red ‘Leavers’ jumpers for girls in Year 12. The green school blazer is compulsory during winter but optional during summer except for formal occasions and must be worn to and from the school and whenever in a public place in uniform.
The school blazer is a dark green colour with three green buttons and the school crest stitched in red on the breast pocket. Each student is allocated a house badge which they pin on their blazers. Badges are also provided for committees and officials. School and House Officials are awarded a badge that denotes their position. School awards are awarded for co-curricular activities and there are a range of badges, colours and Honours for other activities. Each activity has its own symbol for badges and is pinned onto the student’s blazer if they receive it.
