Winter uniform reminders

The winter uniform is to be worn from the start of Term 2. We remind students and families of the College’s Winter Uniform expectations, and we are working together to ensure students meet these expectations.

During Terms 2 and 3, all students are expected to wear the College blazer to and from school and during class. The blazer need not be worn during break times. The blazer is an extra layer of warmth and may be worn with or without the number underneath. In line with our commitment to sustainability as a reGEN school, dressing warmly helps us rely less on using resources for heating, which are harmful to our environment.

Year 12 students are permitted to wear the approved Year 12 rugby top.

Sports Jackets

The soft shell jacket is part of the sports uniform and may not be worn with the winter academic uniform.

Correct uniform

To ensure that students wear their uniform correctly, classroom teachers and Year Level Coordinators will check that students have all of the required uniform items. If there are items that a student is missing, teachers will work with families to discuss when and how to source the item. If any families are facing particular challenges in securing uniform items, teachers will discuss various options available to support students to be in the correct uniform.

When parents/carers and the College work in partnership, we know the outcomes for our students improve. This is an opportunity to work together to ensure we are all upholding the College’s expectations of how our students present themselves in their College uniform and wear the uniform with pride.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teachers or Year Level Coordinator to discuss.

Expectations

CMCB has clear Uniform and Dress Code expectations for students. Wearing the uniform correctly creates equity, establishes a sense of belonging and promotes our College.
