At Belconnen High School it is the policy of the School and the Community that all students wear the prescribed school uniform. The uniform promotes easy recognition and student safety. Wearing the school uniform demonstrates a sense of pride for the School and our local community.
Within our approved school uniform there is a formal option and an more casual option. Students may wear any of the approved uniform items however, on a daily basis the majority of students choose to wear the school polo shirt and hoodie with plain black shorts, tracksuit pants or the school skirt.
Belconnen High has a uniform shop for second hand uniforms and is located via the Student Services entrance each Friday during the school term between 8:30-9am. Further information about acquiring the school uniform is available on request at the Front Office.
