Uniforms

The wearing of full school uniform is compulsory. It is important that all students wear the full Xavier Catholic College uniform correctly, both at school and in public. The full uniform must be worn to and from school, and we ask that parts of the uniform not be worn in public outside of school hours. If, for any reason, a student is unable to be in full school uniform, they must have a note from their parent, preferably in their planner, explaining the problem and the expected day when the student will be back in full uniform.
