Uniform Requirements

Students in Years 7 - 11

Students in Years 12 - 13

Our school uniform contributes to a sense of community and belonging. These guidelines are centred on these values and recognise the needs of our diverse community. They also further aim to facilitate safe and positive learning experiences.

These guidelines encompass the uniform worn by all students in Years 7-11 and the Years 12 – 13 dress code. The Sha Tin College uniform service is handled by ESF Central Procurement. Uniform orders can be placed online here or made directly at the School Uniform store in Lai Chi Kok.

The standard uniform consists of:

  • Navy blue shorts, skorts or trousers with ESF logo.
  • White cotton shirt, short-sleeved, with school & ESF logo.
  • Plain white or navy socks, long or short.
  • Shoes should be fully enclosed, low-heeled, sturdy and non-slip (dress shoes or trainers).
