Uniforms

and Uniform Donations

All students are expected to wear full uniform. The wearing of the uniform and personal presentation is a valuable factor in reinforcing College values.

It promotes a sense of identity with the College and equality between students.

A number of items are regulation, meaning that the style, fabric or manufacture, has been determined by the College Council. The main uniform supplier is the Pakenham Secondary College Uniform Shop located on site.

Uniform Pass

If a student is out of uniform they need to bring a note from their parent or guardian explaining why they are out of uniform.

This note should be given to the Team Leader or Sub-School Leader before the start of the day where they will receive a uniform pass for the day.

Students who are out of uniform without a pass or who fail to provide an acceptable reason for being out of uniform will attract a consequence.

These consequences may include:

Being asked to get parental permission to return home to change.
Withdrawal from timetabled classes.
More serious consequences will apply to students who repeatedly wear incorrect uniforms and deliberately break the College uniform regulations.

Following feedback received from parents/carers, staff and students, we are making changes to our uniform in 2024.

The current sports polo shirt will now become full school uniform. There will also be an updated new sports top available in breathable, wick properties, anti-bacterial, 100% recycled material in black and green - in both short and long sleeve versions.

A black puffer jacket with embroidered school logo will also be available.

The following uniform items will not change and can continue to be worn by students:

The only items which will not be part of the uniform moving forward are the GREY SHORTS/TROUSERS, which are no longer to be worn from the commencement of 2025.

Please note the discontinued spray jacket is no longer uniform from 2024 and cannot be worn to school.

SHOES

From 2024, students will be allowed to wear black sneakers, in addition to black, polishable, leather, lace-up shoes.
