SENIOR SCHOOL UNIFORM

School Winter Uniform

Winter uniform for boys in Years 8 to 11 consists of grey melange trousers with no fleck, stripe or fancy weave (Mycron is considered to be most suitable) with a black leather belt and a Scotch maroon blazer, long-sleeved white shirt, House tie, grey socks and plain black leather lace up shoes. A School pullover may be worn. House ties may be purchased only at the Uniform Shop. School ties are also available at the Uniform Shop.

Boys in Year 12 who have Senior Student Status also wear the above uniform and the Year 12 Scotch maroon blazer with stripes is worn (replacing the maroon blazer). When winter uniform is worn, blazers may be removed when boys arrive at School, but must be worn to Chapel and Assembly. Blazers must be worn whenever a boy leaves the School grounds or is travelling to or from School. Boys do not need to wear a blazer when riding a bicycle. A School tracksuit top is not regarded as an item of winter clothing.

School Summer Uniform

Summer uniform consists of khaki shorts, khaki shirt with short sleeves, House tie, short khaki socks with School tops and plain black lace-up shoes. A School pullover may be worn.

For certain specified School occasions, such as Speech Night, Inter-school swimming and athletics carnivals, the School tie will be worn instead of the House tie.

Senior School boys need not wear a tie to School with summer uniform if the weather forecast published in "The West Australian" newspaper on a particular day predicts a temperature of 35 degrees celsius or more. On some other days, boys may be allowed to remove their ties after the commencement of School. Under such circumstances, they need not wear their ties home. If the tie is not worn, the top button of the shirt must be undone. However, if a pullover is worn, the tie must be worn also.

So that each boy may be identified by his House when ties are not being worn, boys wear appropriately coloured braid on the pocket of summer uniform shirts. The braid is sewn across the top edge of the pocket. The full width of the braid should be visible. The shirt will also have an embroidered Scotch badge in the centre of the pocket. Year 12 braid should be sewn on beneath the House braid. House and School braids are available from the Uniform Shop.
If a boy wears a hat while he is in summer uniform, it must be the Scotch peaked cap, also available from the Uniform Shop. Cricket caps etc are not to be worn under these circumstances.
