UNIFORM GUIDE K-12

INTRODUCTION COLLEGE UNIFORM UPDATE

Corpus Christi College is very proud to present its new K-12 Uniform.

The uniform is a celebration of our newly formed K-12 community and acknowledges the rich traditions of the past whilst integrating contemporary designs and fabric technologies to ensure a deep sense of pride, comfort and inclusivity. It is a natural progression from previous uniform designs, recognising our storied past whilst looking to the future.

As a progressive Catholic school, we courageously respond to the dynamic nature of the current global landscape by creating a modern, holistic, learning environment, which fosters a sense of agility and a genuine love of learning. This philosophy has underpinned our design process in developing a uniform that promotes belonging and instils confidence in students, enabling them to fully involve themselves in the life of the College. The uniform ensembles will support students to actively pursue their interests and learning pathways with passion, energy and enthusiasm.

The uniform design draws on the extensive feedback provided from the College community to ensure a sense of ownership, versatility and functionality. We are advocates of student agency and have valued their strong voice in the development of the uniform.

In fulfilling our Mission of celebrating the uniqueness of all within our diverse community, our uniform ‘wardrobe’ recognises the individuality of students and provides opportunity for choice on how they would like to proudly represent the College each day. It recognises the early years phase of development and offers a consistency of design between the Junior and Senior schools to promote sustainability for families and a sense of connection across the school.

Our new K-12 College uniform connects our students to an illustrious history and celebrates the continuation of our story. It is a visible symbol of Corpus Christi College and inspires all within our community to live out our values of courage, commitment and compassion and to strive toward our vision of being Outstanding for Others.

MATERIALS

FABRIC & DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS The feedback received from our College community identified a number of uniform items which have been improved in the new K-12 College Uniform range.

FABRIC SELECTION The College has discontinued the use of woollen fibres in the trousers and the jumpers for students. This was strong feedback we received in the consultation phase and are pleased to announce this has been replaced with a Poly/Cotton blend for improved comfort.

FABRIC DESIGN The College has worked closely with our supplier, Permapleat, to ensure the latest in fabric design and technology has been incorporated in the new uniform range.

Trousers and Shorts in the formal uniform range are manufactured from the Milano Gaberdine fabric, which is an innovative and advanced fabric which is high performance, low pilling, has superior drape and soft feel. It delivers a high level of durability.

Sport and House Polo Shirts in the sport range are manufactured from Protex fabric which incorporates 50% cotton.

The College has moved away from 100% Polyester fabrics for these items. The Protex fabric is manufactured for cool comfort and high performance. It is knitted with 50% cotton on the inside to ensure comfort and wick away moisture.

The polyester blended ensure colour fastness and achieves the highest UPF rating of 50+.

Sport Shorts and Tracksuit Pants in the sport range are manufactured from Microtex microfibre fabric. This fabric has been developed for comfort and durability and is treated with a water repellent. It repels moisture without compromising durability.

Softshell Jacket provides additional warmth for students and repels water. A modern garment which proudly promotes the image of the College.

COMBINATIONS The College have incorporated a play-based uniform for the Kindy to Year 2 year levels to support comfort for our students.

The College have allowed additional combinations to ensure student preference is considered, for example, students are able to wear socks with winter skirt instead of stockings/tights. Students have the option to wear short or long sleeve shirts in Summer and Winter, depending on their preference. This is supported by the newest fabric for the jumper pullover which is a Poly/Cotton blend.

COLOUR PALETTE & FABRICS Corpus Christi College’s uniform boasts a refined and cohesive colour palette that reflects the College’s heritage and identity.

The primary colours of Regal Blue and Wine Red are prominently featured throughout the uniform, creating a bold and sophisticated look. The addition of Winter Grey for trousers offers a versatile and modern touch, ideal for the colder months.

The uniform also incorporates subtle yet meaningful patterns, with the College’s colours woven into the skirts, ties, and Summer dresses. These patterns are further enhanced by elements of the school crest, ensuring that each piece not only represents the College’s values but also fosters a strong sense of pride and unity among students. The overall design combines tradition with a contemporary flair, offering students a polished and cohesive look for every season.

TRANSITION

NAVIGATING THE CHANGE TO NEW UNIFORMS The College is providing a two-year transition period for students to adopt the new uniform. The new uniform range will be required to be worn by all students from 1 January 2026.

NEW STUDENTS 2025 All new families who commence at Corpus Christi College in 2025 are strongly recommended (but not required) to purchase the complete new set of the new range of College uniforms. All new families may choose to purchase or reuse old uniforms.

YEAR 1 - 2 STUDENTS IN 2025 The style of uniform for Year 1 and Year 2 students has changed significantly from a formal winter and summer uniform with a separate sport uniform to a single play-based uniform. Therefore, families are strongly encouraged to consider purchasing the new uniform in support of your child’s learning in a play based environment in these early childhood years.

YEAR 11 STUDENTS IN 2025 As 2026 will be your last year of school at Corpus Christi College, it is understood that purchasing new uniform items for one year is not sustainable or afordable for some families. It will be acceptable if there are some old uniform items still worn by this cohort.

DISCOUNTED UNIFORMS The College has discounted all items of uniform which will be discontinued from 2026. These have been discounted at a rate of 50%. Please note, if you do purchase any items new which are discounted, these can be worn for 2025 only. The new uniform will be required to be purchased for wear in 2026.

For Junior School families, Permapleat have been instructed to discount Yidarra Catholic Primary School and re-branded Corpus Christi College items by 50% in preparation for the new K-12 College uniform launch.
