PLEASE NOTE that the School grey is a mid-grey (charcoal/light grey is not acceptable).

Most boys arrive by car or coach and the need for an outer garment, proof against the elements does at times seem unclear. The lightweight School Kagool is seen as a way of providing a low cost overcoat which can be used for activities out of school. Boys entering the School at Year 7 may continue to wear the junior school blazer for one more year.

EQUIPMENT

• Pencil Case
• Cartridge ink pen with medium nib
• Geometry set
• Scientific calculator
• Satchel/suitable case (see note below)
• Box for packed lunch if required

The use of large squashy bags for carrying school books is NOT permitted. Because such bags do not hold books tightly, excessive wear occurs, to the extent that a text book may not last one term and an exercise book wears out before completed. The complications that such bags cause to movement in corridors, on staircases and around classrooms also mitigate against their use.

All possessions should be clearly marked with the owner's name.
