At Pulteney Grammar School, blazers are mandatory for all students from Years 1 to 12 when wearing the winter uniform (Terms 2 and 3). The blazer should be worn to and from school every day as the primary outer garment. If additional warmth is needed, students may wear the optional woolen jumper or vest underneath their blazers. Optional items such as the soft shell jacket, puffa jacket, and puffa vest should only be worn on school premises and are not considered official outerwear. The blazer must always be accompanied by a Pulteney tie when worn with the winter uniform.

In addition to daily wear during winter, blazers should also be worn at assemblies, official events, excursions (unless otherwise specified), and when students are outside of school in the formal uniform.

During Terms 1 and 4, when the summer uniform is worn, the blazer must be worn to formal assemblies and official occasions as directed by the Principal. If the forecast indicates a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius or higher, blazers need not be worn.

Junior School (Years 1–6) Specific Requirements: Junior School students who have PE on the day do not need to wear the formal uniform to Junior School assemblies or chapel services. However, for full school formal assemblies, including the start and end of term assemblies, the formal uniform must be worn.

In the Junior School, students may wear their PE uniform to and from school on days when they have a Physical Education (PE) lesson.

From Year 5 and above, students participating in before or after school cocurricular sport are required to:

• Wear their academic uniform to school.

• Bring their PE or sport uniform with them.

• Change into their sport uniform after school, or as required.

Students from Year 5 onwards must bring their uniform with them and change at school—wearing their formal academic uniform to and from school remains the expectation.

We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations at home.

Please note:
Students are now required to wear the new sports uniform when representing Pulteney in interschool competitions.

To help your child be prepared, we ask parents to encourage students to:

• Know their PE timetable and training schedule, and

• Pack the appropriate uniform each day.
