Uniform Policy
General Uniform Rules
Our uniform has been designed with the North Queensland climate in mind and provides comfortable and stylish wear for students in all year levels. The range of uniforms is designed for sporting activities, daywear and formal occasions. We are confident that our students will take pride in being members of the Gilroy Santa Maria College community and will choose to present themselves well.
The following guidelines have been established to assist students to make appropriate decisions about their presentation and grooming, so as to enhance the personal dignity of the students, and to promote the identity of the College in the wider community
Injuries
