School Uniform
St Michael's Grammar School, like most private schools in Australia, requires students to wear school uniforms. The uniform for male and female students is different and there are two varieties - both summer (Terms 1 and 4) and winter or formal (Terms 2 and 3, but required to be worn on all formal occasions).
The female school summer uniform consists of a dress to be worn with white socks, while the winter uniform is a red and navy skirt, white shirt, red and navy tie, navy woollen sweater and navy blazer, all to be worn with navy tights or white socks. The boys' uniform consists of navy pants, white shirt, red and navy tie, navy sweater and red and navy striped blazer, with an optional red and navy checked shirt for summer. School prefects (school captains, school vice-captains and house captains) wear a tie with the school logo printed on.
The school captains and school vice-captains also wear a different blazer pocket with the school logo embroidered in gold and also gold embroidered writing to indicate their leadership position. All leaders in the school also wear relevant badges on their blazer lapels. The school sports uniform consists of a number of different parts relevant to the sport being played, all in the school colours of red and navy.
Jewellery and makeup are forbidden, with the exception of appropriate religious necklaces (usually crucifixes or crosses) and charity wristbands.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or uniform:
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“Truly man is a marvelously vain, diverse, and undulating object. It is hard to found any constant and uniform judgment on him.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
