School Uniforms
The school uniform was chosen by the College Council after a consultative process with the student body. It has been described as conservative and distinctive, and originally included the option of a blazer, but this was not taken up by the vast majority. During summer months, in terms 1 and 4, girls wear a summer dress, grey socks, and black shoes, with a purple college jumper. Boys also wear grey socks and black shoes, and the purple college jumper, in combination with grey trousers or shorts and a white shirt. For winter dress, in terms 2 and 3, girls wear the white college shirt and either a grey skirt or trousers with a college tie. Boys are permitted to wear trousers or shorts during winter, and must also wear a tie.
The college enforces its uniform policy rigorously. As the first uniform policy for McClelland College was white socks, they then changed it to grey socks and enforce this rule strongly.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or uniforms:
“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“I place these numbed wrists to the pane
watching white uniforms whisk over
him in the tube-kept
prison
fear what they will do in experiment”
—Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
