The College has a strict uniform policy. At Yarra Hills, students are expected to dress in complete school uniform and to present a neat appearance at all times. This also applies when attending excursions and travelling to and from school, unless permission to the contrary is given by the College Principal (eg Outdoor Education).
Our Uniform Policy provides clear guidelines as to the expected items and standards of dress for all students, including specific reference to piercings and jewellery. Parents are expected to support the College in ensuring that students are provided with and attend in full school uniform.

Transition/Changeover timeline (2024/2025 – 2026)
New uniform transition / changeover timeline 2024/2025 – 2026)
We understand that all students have current uniform, which is likely to still be serviceable in the near future, so we will allow a transition timeline to enable a smooth changeover from old to new uniform. Current (old) uniform is now being removed from sale and will no longer be available for purchase.
With the expectation that families will begin purchasing the new uniform as students grow out of, or wear out, the old uniform, both old and new versions will be acceptable as correct uniform for the remainder of this year (2024) and also for the entirety of next year (2025).
From the start of 2026 it will be expected that existing students will have updated to the new uniform items, and any new students will have purchased only the correct (new) uniform.
PE/Sport Uniform: Please note that the PE/Sport uniform is only to be worn during PE or Sport activities and is not acceptable uniform for other times/classes. Students should change into correct school uniform to return to regular classes.
Second-hand Uniforms
The College is conscious of the need to provide an efficient process for families to be able to buy and sell second-hand uniforms and other student resources. We are delighted to inform you of the College’s initiative to provide parents with the ability to trade these second-hand items via the Sustainable School Shop. www.sustainableschoolshop.com.au
