UNIFORM POLICY AND REGULATIONS

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION FROM THE HEADMASTER The Knox Grammar School brings a clear sense of identity and connection to both the School and the local community. The colours of our uniform, black and blue, builds this connectedness internally between students and externally to the wider community, and indeed students from other schools.

The uniform represents our School's fine history and builds on our traditions. This policy provides detailed information about the School's uniform. Please take the time to read this document and ensure the traditions of the Knox and its uniform continue to be something we take great pride in. Scott James, Headmaster
