Introduction

Our school uniform provides a smart, distinctive and functional way of identifying members of our school community. It assists in the development of ‘Respect for Self’ by specific attention to dress and creates a sense of connectedness to Balwyn High School. Our uniform also provides immediate identification of unauthorised persons in the school buildings and grounds which ensures a safe and secure environment for our students and staff.

Balwyn High School has a strong culture of school uniform which is endorsed by the School Council. Belonging to Balwyn High School has many advantages and benefits, and for students and parents it also brings the responsibility of being fully committed to the student wearing the full school uniform correctly and with pride ‘all day every day’. To support this, Balwyn High School have developed our Uniform Guide, which can be found below.

Purchase of Uniform – New

The school’s preferred uniform supplier is Bob Stewart of Kew bobstewart.com.au (201-207 High Street, Kew). Bob Stewart donates a percentage of uniform sales to the Balwyn High School Aim High Building Appeal and sponsors school activities. Scarves, long sport socks (for hockey, AFL and soccer) and sports caps are available from the school’s General Office.

The sale of Second-Hand Uniform Shop has been operating since 2000. In this time it has continued to expand its turnover and is a valuable resource for the school community. It is one of the major sources of income for the Chaplaincy Program at Balwyn High School.
