Uniform
The school uniform consists of a burgundy fitted blazer (compulsory) with the SHS logo embroidered on the left hand side, a grey skirt in a choice of 3 styles: a pleated skirt, a one-pleat skirt and a pencil skirt, or grey trousers, with a pink and white candy striped blouse. There is also an optional burgundy sweater for colder weather. Students may wear a scarf of any style providing it is plain burgundy, plain black or plain grey. Year 11 are currently allowed to choose to wear a black V Neck alternative.
Make-up is not allowed in Years 7, 8 and 9, apart from a small amount of concealer or foundation. However discrete make-up is allowed in Years 10 and 11. Extreme hair colours are not allowed. Boots may only be worn to and from school in the winter. Shoes must be plain and black in colour.
Before the academic year 2009/2010 the uniform consisted of a grey pencil skirt and black tights or black, white or grey socks or grey trousers, plain black shoes, a pink and white candy striped blouse and a maroon sweatshirt with the school logo on it. This was changed to the current uniform after a survey showed that the majority of parents, teachers and pupils would prefer a change of uniform.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“When a uniform exercise of kindness to prisoners on our part has been returned by as uniform severity on the part of our enemies, you must excuse me for saying it is high time, by other lessons, to teach respect to the dictates of humanity; in such a case, retaliation becomes an act of benevolence.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We know, Mr. Weller—we, who are men of the world—that a good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
