All students are expected to wear their uniform correctly and neatly every day and should bring an explanatory note from a parent if they are out of uniform for any reason.

At Lakes Grammar, the day-to-day uniform has been designed to wear across all seasons of the year. There is no separate winter or summer uniform.

The correct sports uniform must be worn for all sporting occasions.

The expectation is that uniforms are in good repair, clean, ironed and well fitting.

Every article of clothing is expected to be clearly marked with the student’s name and and the school does not accept responsibility for the loss of any possessions.
