  • A new blazer and tie for all Year 7 learners, marking their transition to secondary school and fostering a smart, professional appearance.
  • A free tie for all Year 11 learners, recognising their senior status and encouraging them to take pride in their final year of school.
  • A free tie for Student Leaders, acknowledging their leadership roles and contributions to the school community.
