Uniforms In Australian Schools

Before you join any of the Australian schools, you need to first familiarize yourself with the applicable polices within the institution. Doing this, will help you fit in with the rest of the school community. One key aspect to consider is the school uniform.

Here's a sample of some uniform policies applicable to a several schools in Australia.

Cherrybrook Technology High School (CTHS)

CTHS possesses a variety of school clothes. These are categorized based on senior and junior girls/ boys, as well as summer and winter clothes.

Firstly, the senior girls' summer clothes consist of mid grey wool blended skirts with white pin tucked, short sleeved blouses. This is topped off with black wool blended blazers with crests and black woolen jumpers/ non-woolen pullovers with crests. When winter comes around, the attire changes to red and grey plaided/ mid-grey wool blended skirts with white pin tucked, short sleeved blouses. The skirts may be substituted with black business style trousers. However, the jumper and blazer remain the same.

For summer, junior girls put on grey and red striped dresses. Unlike the seniors, they also have black non-woolen zipped front jackets with crests. During the winter, they wear similar skirts, trousers and blouses to the seniors with only the minor inclusion of embroidered crests on their blouses.

Senior boys' summer attire consists of white short sleeved shirts with embroidered crests and black business style trousers or grey business style shorts. Apart from the trousers, the other similarity in attire that they have with girls is in the style of jumper and blazer. Junior boys have much the same summer attire, except for trousers which are grey instead of black. During the winter, all boys shift to white long sleeved shirts.

Sydney Girls High School (SGHS)

SGHS features a unique brown and yellow uniform. Girls in year 7 up to year 9 would have on tunics and shirts; whereas those in year 9 up to year 12 would wear skirts and shirts. The learning institution's dress code also features blazers, jumpers and sleeveless pullovers. Additionally, year 12 students have a unique year 12 jersey.

Although the school allows such accessories as ribbons, winter scarves and hair bands/ clips, these must be in school colors. Moreover, any jewelry worn by the students should be discreet.

Davidson High School (DHS)

The DHS dress code is quite different from the SGHS and CTHS attire. Apparently, DHS has more color and patterns.

Firstly, senior girls' attire features 'Davidson' tartan skirts with either white polo shirts for summer or white, short sleeved blouses with pointed collars for winter. Their jumpers are navy blue in color, while bearing a logo.

On the other hand, senior boys put on white cotton or polyester polo shirts during the summer and white pointed collar shirts during the winter. This is combined with either navy blue shorts or long grey trousers. To top it all, a navy blue jumper completes the picture.

Junior girls' uniform isn't too different from the seniors, except for the summer checked dress and tunic. Their male counterparts also have navy blue shorts as an alternative to trousers.
