Uniform

General Information

Wentworth College expects students to take pride in their uniform and to wear it correctly at all times. When students are in school uniform, school rules apply whether you are on the school grounds or not. Correct official uniform is required for:

• attendance at school
• travelling to and from school
• attendance at school functions away from school (sports tours, cultural and social)

Incorrect uniform, or a mixture of school uniform, sports gear and personal non uniform clothing, is not acceptable in the street.  After school, even after a sports practice, students must change into correct school uniform and may not go home in sports gear.  Students not in the correct uniform are required to have a note from home explaining the reason for the discrepancy.  Give the note to the Head of College – Mrs Chamberlain.  Boys’ shorts must not be worn below the knee. Both trousers and shorts are to be worn at the waist. Jackets and raincoats must not be worn inside the classrooms. T-shirts, singlets and other underwear worn for extra warmth must not be visible.
