Coorparoo Secondary College has a Dress Code and Standard and students are expected to wear the full, correct school uniform with pride. When wearing the uniform, students convey a strong message about themselves as well as the high standards set by our school community. Wearing the uniform helps to maintain a positive tone in the school community and ensures that the primary focus is learning. Students are to wear the school uniform to a high standard at all times.
The Principal will make the final decision to determine uniform compliance within the high standards of dress and appearance in place at Coorparoo Secondary College and thereby help to maintain a positive tone in the school community and ensure that our primary focus will be centred on learning.
