Uniform

Our uniform is only sold through the BDSC Uniform Shop located to the right as you face our Reception block.

Regulations

We have a College Uniform Code that is agreed to by parents/guardians and students upon enrolment.

Once a student has agreed to become part of our college, they must adhere to the college standards. BDSC is proud of the positive reputation it enjoys in the community and presentation contributes to this;

we are proud that our students present themselves so well.

We appreciate that parents/guardians support the high expectations we have for students who attend with regard to uniform, attendance, learning, and work presentation.

Please refer to Section 24 in the Parent Guardian Handbook  to ensure uniforms purchased meet the standards agreed to at enrolment. In particular, the requirements for shoes, skirts, and trousers.

We recommend that all students purchase a college hat to wear outside during PE or for travel to and from college.

Summer code required for Terms 1 and 4.
Winter code required for Terms 2 and 3.

Purchasing

Uniform items are available from the BDSC Uniform Shop.

Payment Options

Payment by cash, Eftpos and credit card is available.

Selling

The Uniform Shop will purchase second hand uniform under the following conditions:
• The uniform is in excellent condition
• There have been no alterations made to the uniform
• All items have been washed
• All items must be ironed where possible

Botany Downs Secondary College expects a high standard of dress from their students therefore we are unable to purchase items that do not meet this standard.
