Uniform
Students wear a variety of uniforms at the college.
The normal working college uniform is called "G-Kit" (General Kit). This consists of grey trousers (grey skirt for girls), a Wedgwood blue shirt with epaulettes, a tie (house, prefect, music or sporting), and black leather shoes.
The ties for G-Kit vary depending on the individual's house, rank, and if they hold a college position. Ties are also given for sporting merit (colours and half colours) and achievements in music.
The college blazer is only worn for formal occasions. This is called "College-Kit", and is worn with the college tie.
All students wear epaulettes with their year (designated by stripes) and service shown on them. The epaulettes worn by all prefects bear a white stripe in between the usual parallel purple stripes of non-prefect year 13 students.
On military training days, the Royal Navy wear No 3 dress for most parades. The Army wear newly issued MTP combats (previously CS95's), which is the regular British Army working dress. The Royal Air Force wear No 2 Dress. In hot weather this consists of peaked hat and short-sleeved shirt, while in winter, this changes to long-sleeved shirt and black tie.
All members of the college are issued with Single Service Parade Dress. This is worn throughout the year at special occasions such as the Annual General Inspection, or the Remembrance Day ceremony.

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