UNIFORM HANDBOOK

School Uniform at LauristonAt Lauriston Girls’ School, our uniform is more than the clothes our students wear.

From the moment they first put the uniform on, each student

becomes a part of Lauriston and belongs to a community rich

with history and the possibilities of a great future to come.

The respect our students feel for themselves and each other is

clear from the neat and orderly way that each girl presents

herself. Every student who wears our uniform does so with

pride; from top to toe, they become ambassadors for the

school and go forth into the world knowing they carry

with them the support of all students and staff.

By wearing the same uniform, our students are

able to push beyond barriers that might otherwise

separate them and work together to get the best

experience from their time in school. Freed from

the distractions of what to wear, the uniform is an

important part in distinguishing learning time from

the rest of a student’s life and allows them to put their

education before all else.

Sport Uniform

Sport Uniform Policy

The Lauriston Sport Uniform Policy outlines the School expectations with regard to the wearing of the Lauriston Sport uniform.

We believe that wearing the Lauriston Sport uniform corrrectly and neatly encourages a sense of belonging and pride in

representing the School in Sport.

The School expects proper standards of presentation of its students and sport is no exception. The items listed are the official

sports uniform for the School and must be worn by students when participating in School Physical Education lessons, sport

training and competition. Consequences will be given to girls not properly presented in correct sport uniform.

All Lauriston badged items are available to be purchased from the School Uniform Shop. Some sports require specific training,

competition or safety equipment. These may need to be purchased in addition to the standard uniform.
