Uniforms

The image of the College is reflected in the appearance of our students and our uniform promotes a sense of pride and belonging to the North Geelong Secondary College community. All students must wear the correct uniform in a neat and clean manner. The uniform is to be worn during school hours, on the way to and from the College, and on extracurricular activities and excursions unless permission has been granted for casual dress. Please refer to the dress code for extracurricular activities, excursions, camps and casual dress days. The School Council is responsible for approving any changes to the uniform after consultation with parent/guardians, teachers and students.

Blazer Exchange Program

It is the College expectation that Blazers are worn to and from the College, on excursions and when representing the College for academic/cultural or arts activities.

In line with this expectation, NGSC offers a Blazer Exchange Program to help make the wearing of Blazers more affordable and sustainable for school families where by promoting our school values within our College community.
