This private grammar school in New South Wales is run by Greek Australians. It has both a junior and senior section. They have a very traditional uniform complete with boaters.
Even the seniors wear the boaters, but they do wear long trousers. The boys and girls wear a similar uniform with the boys wearing long and short pants and the girls wearing skirts. The uniform consists of the following.
All the boys wear boaters, even the senior boys. I am not sure that they are worn for an ordinary school day, but they seem to be. There must be a lot of damage done from day to day with replacements needed. The white stripe design of the tie is repicated in the band on the boater The girls wear a different style straw hat. Girls also wear bertets, this may be seasonal.
All of the children wear black blazers with the school crest.
