The Board of Trustees, staff, students and College Community have affirmed that Nelson College is a school that wants a uniform and that it should be worn well.
Uniform helps instil a sense of identity and purpose. Self-esteem is enhanced by wearing a uniform with pride. If students feel good about themselves, they are very likely to perform better at school.
As we move into winter, we’re starting to see students wear non-regulation items – especially hoodies and non-school socks. Our uniform worn well, gives our boys a sense of pride and belonging; as well as keeping them warm and healthy.
We’re able to loan or provide spare uniforms through the deans as needed. Uniform shop opening hours are listed on this page.
Thanks for your support in this matter.
Number 1’s – Compulsory Wednesdays Term 1, 2 and 3
All other times normal uniform or Number 1’s
Please Note:
An enrolment is accepted on the understanding that uniform rules will be observed. See Uniform Policy.
Nelson College chooses to have a uniform as part of the style of education that we provide. The students who choose to be part of our college also choose to accept that wearing our uniform well is part of what Nelson College is.
At times a student may not be able to comply with the uniform standard. If this does occur then it is expected that parents write an explanatory note for that day. This note should be presented to any of the senior leadership team, either Tim Tucker, Brian Hore or Jarrod Aberhart for an exemption note.
The uniform shop is situated within the school grounds (to the left of the main entrance).
