St Peter’s College Uniform Handbook 2013

The School uniform is the most visible

symbol of identity for boys at St Peter’s

College. It is expected that all boys take

pride in their appearance and ensure their

uniform is well-fitted, clean, neat and worn

in a dignified and respectful manner during

the school day, and while travelling to and

from the School.

The Uniform Handbook has been developed

to assist boys and parents in understanding

how the School uniform is to be worn

correctly, the uniform policy and details of

the School Uniform Shop. The Handbook

is divided into the following sections: ELC,

Junior School and Senior School. Each

section details the correct uniform options

for winter, summer, PE and co-curricular

activities.

There may be occasions as designated

by the School, (for example School

excursions or photos) when you will be

provided with notification for the full formal

uniform to be worn. Occasionally, you will

also receive notification of days when the

boys are exempt from wearing the School

uniform (for example, casual days and

school camps). On these occasions it is

still expected that the boys be neat and

take pride in their appearance.
