Senior School Uniform 

The default uniform is the Everyday Uniform. See outline below.

    • As we are awaiting the change facilities in the Cameron Centre to be accessible again, please continue to follow the guidelines below:
      • In Stages 4 and 5, complete and correct PE uniform can only be worn all day on designated sports days (these will be marked on your timetable) each fortnight.
      • Dress uniform will be required for assembles and other occasions as advised.

Thank you for your assistance regarding these uniform expectations.

 

Uniform Shop Bookings

Make a booking at the Uniform Shop

Dates: Monday 20 January – Friday 24 January
Times: 8:30am – 3:30pm

To contact the Uniform Shop, please email uniformshop@hvgs.nsw.edu.au. The Uniform Shop is located on the School grounds and stocks both new and good condition second-hand uniforms. The shop is open during term time every Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm.

 

Mobile Phones – Reminder

Mobile phone use is only permitted during the course of the school day (generally from arrival through the gates until 3:00pm) when expressly required and authorised during class for a particular activity, or only after a student has sought permission from a member of staff. Students are permitted to use a mobile phone when paying for items at Treetops, in which case they are only to be produced when the student has arrived at the point of sale.

Mobile phones are otherwise to be locked in lockers or kept on silent and out of sight.

 

Locks for Student Lockers

Families are asked to supply a suitable lock to go on to a student locker for security and peace of mind. The experience with combination locks has not been so good, with locks failing quite frequently. The recommendation is to use a key-lock, and the spare key is able to be left in the care of the respective Head of Year just in case.

 

Stationery and Book Lists 

Students in Years 8 – 12 have no specific list for stationery and will be advised of stationery items by their teachers in their first few days of school. Students are asked to bring their device, a notepad and a pencil case with pens and pencils in the interim.
