One very practical way that our young men can support St James College is to wear the College uniform well. The following information is made available so all parents and students are aware of our expectations and requirements.
Students are expected to wear clothing that is clean and pressed. Hair should be well groomed. No extreme hairstyle or colouring is permitted. Hair is to be worn neatly, tidily, and above the collar, ears and eyes. Earrings or studs are not permitted. No jewellery or wrist bands, except watches, may be worn with the St James College uniform. Students should at all times be clean shaven.
The official St James College uniform is to be worn in its entirety:
• Each school day from the time the student leaves home for school until he returns home.
• To and from venues of official sporting fixtures by members of representative teams.
• When attending school functions and while on school excursions.
• Rain jackets may also be worn with the school uniform, but only in inclement weather. At no time is there the need for rain jackets to be worn in class.
Shirts are to be tucked into trousers when travelling to and from school and during class.
All articles of school uniform are to be clearly marked with the owner’s full name. The use of name tags sewn on to clothing is highly recommended. St James College will endeavour to return marked articles which are found, to their owners; it will disclaim any responsibility for unmarked articles.
Summer Uniform – Terms 1 and 4
The summer uniform consists of the monogrammed summer shirt (no college tie), long trousers or shorts with college socks, socks and polished black leather lace up shoes. If an outer garment is worn, it will be the St James College blazer. If it is cooler, the College jumper may be worn underneath the blazer. Only on wet days may the over jacket be worn, over the blazer, apart from Sports uniform.
The Summer shirt, worn outside the trousers, must be tucked in when being worn under the St James College blazer. T-shirts are not to be worn under the summer shirt, singlets are permitted.
Winter Uniform – Terms 2 and 3
The winter uniform consists of long grey trousers, grey socks, polished black leather lace-up school shoes, long-sleeved College shirt, College tie and College blazer. The jumper may be worn under the blazer during cooler weather. The blazer is always to be worn when travelling to and from school. On very cold days, plain black coloured scarves are permitted to be worn with the St James College uniform, whilst travelling to or from school.
