Formal

A green blazer, white shirt and Menzies regulation tie with the kilt or long grey trousers may be required to be worn on formal occasions. The school has a range of various sized blazers available for this purpose. Students may be required to wear the formal uniform when they are representing Menzies College.

Other representative uniforms include – wet weather tracksuits, netball skirts, hockey shirts and skirts, equestrian, athletic singlets, basketball singlets/t-shirts. Uniforms are to be worn in direct connection with the activity for which they were issued; that is on the day of competition, travelling to/from the activity or event, while participating in the activity or event. Students have a responsibility to return any issued uniforms in a clean and tidy condition at least equal to the condition the uniform was in when received.

Students have a responsibility to report any uniform damage as soon as possible to the teacher in charge of their activity and/or the Head of Department, Sport. Students whose uniforms are lost or damaged through careless or irresponsible use while in the care of the student, may be charged to assist with the cost of repair and/or replacement of the uniform. Students who fail to return their uniforms by the due date may incur a fine.

NOTE:

✓  Culturally acceptable jewellery may be worn – Jewellery must be unobtrusive at all times.

✓  Any changes to the school’s uniform (including sports uniform) should be passed by The Board of Trustees.

IMPORTANT: Please name all uniform. There is a large amount of uniform, in particular polar fleeces, handed in to lost property each year un-named and therefore unable to be returned to the owner.
