College Uniform

The College uniform is an important feature of our identity at Marist-Sion College. Our College uniform strengthens the spirit of the community, adds to student safety and group security, and is well-recognised and highly regarded within the community. Indeed, the good standing of the College is significantly influenced by the way students wear the uniform and present themselves. Hence, we anticipate that and expect our students will wear their uniform with pride.

Students are expected to present themselves well and to wear the uniform, including footwear, correctly. This applies during school hours, while travelling to and from school, and when students are engaged in school activities out of school hours. On excursions, unless otherwise stated, full College uniform is required.

Tutor Teachers and Heads of House will challenge our students to maintain or lift their standards with the College uniform. The Student Uniform Policy takes precedence over a student’s individual preference in matters of uniform. Excess jewellery will be confiscated. Students who do not comply with the College expectations in relation to their uniform will be issued with a consequence which may include:

  • Asking students to return home until they have complied with the Student Uniform Policy;
  • A lunchtime or afterschool reconnection;
  • A parent/guardian and student meeting.

Mentoring the correct wearing of the uniform is the joint responsibility of students, parents/guardians and members of staff. Parents and guardians can support the College by attending to the little things like engaging in informal conversations about uniform and taking pride in personal appearance so please discuss this open letter with your child. We value the positive relationships which are an intrinsic hallmark of life at Marist-Sion College.
