The Kings School is an Anglicam boarding school. The King's School at Parramatta is the oldest private boys' school in Australia. The school was founded in 1831. The educational program follows that of a traditiinal English prep school. The boys wear, however, a very destinctive uniform. It is perhaps the most destinctive in Australia. I do not know if there were caps. They have destinctively styled blazers with a military look. The military features include epaulets, flap pockets, a belt element at the back and red embroidery on the sleeves. They wear dark blue or black shorts with a red military looking strip. The knee-length shorts help to date the image to about 2000. The kneesocks have two different widths of grey bands, matching the jackets. All wear black leather shoes. The school has a used clothing shop called the Clothing Pool.
