Team Uniform

As the winter weather sets in more layers of clothing are added to team uniform. While it is important that our girls are warm, it is still expected that they turn up in the approved school clothing and looking like a team. We are asking all students to ensure that they have the correct clothing and footwear to their games.  

Winter jackets - while we go through the process of revamping the school jacket, players are allowed to turn up in their own choice. Ideally this would still be of navy or black colour but understand this is not always possible.  

Once teams start warming up all must be in approved school clothing. For teams playing outside navy or black thermal can be worn under playing tops. Non approved school hoodies, tights, thermals, or t-shirts should not be worn. 

In regards to footwear, the correct footwear too and from the game should be worn with the school tracksuit. In tournament situations, scuffs, jandals etc can be worn in between games while resting.

Any student within a team that is on the sideline due to injury should be wearing correct PE Tracksuit.
