Caulfield Grammar School

Caulfield Grammar School is a coeducational independent school in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The school is a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS), and is of Anglican denomination. It was founded in 1881 as a boys' school, and began admitting girls exactly one hundred years later.

School uniform

Caulfield Grammar School, like all other Australian independent schools, requires students to wear full school uniform at all times. Two school uniforms exist for boys and girls for both summer and winter, and the main colours featured are blue, white and grey.

The navy blue school blazer with the school crest on the breast pocket is the central item, and students in Years 10 to 12 are allowed to wear blazers with white braiding and award pockets that represent achievement within the school - a similar concept to military decorations, where initials representing different activities are worn (for example, MU for music) and the school crest is threaded appropriately (the crest is threaded in the colour of the highest award).
