Uniform
Dressed for Learning and Belonging
The Ballarat Grammar Uniform
The Ballarat Grammar uniform supports the needs of our diverse school community while reflecting the strong visual identity and values of our school.
Our uniform range includes both formal items and a selection of flexible, mix-and-match lifestyle pieces that offer comfort throughout the seasons. The traditional uniform remains at the heart of the Ballarat Grammar wardrobe and is worn for formal occasions and key events.
For students in Prep to Year 2, the uniform is age-appropriate, play-friendly, and designed for movement and growth. These students wear the same attire throughout the day, whether in the classroom or outdoors, with no need to change for sport.
Our New Uniform
Ballarat Grammar is a modern, progressive school. Our uniform has been thoughtfully redesigned to reflect those values, balancing heritage with innovation, and formality with flexibility.
A Community-Driven Process
In 2023, we began the process of reviewing and redesigning the School uniform. Led by a dedicated Uniform Committee, including students, staff, parents, and Board representatives, the process began with a review of existing items and a reflection on our School’s visual identity. Our heritage played an important role throughout, with historical photographs and long-standing traditions helping inform design decisions.
After a public call for Expressions of Interest, renowned designer Jonathan Ward was appointed to lead the redesign. With a background as Chief Designer at R.M. Williams, and recent experience designing school uniforms for Caulfield Grammar, Kinross Wolaroi, Orange Anglican, and Westbourne Grammar, Jonathan brought deep expertise and a contemporary eye to the project.
Designed With Students
We surveyed students in Years 6, 8 and 10, and engaged parents to understand what mattered most in a school uniform. Students were more than just models for the new range - their input was critical to shaping both the design and functionality of the garments. From fit and comfort to style preferences, student voices were heard and valued every step of the way.
Acknowledgement of Country
Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we learn, live and work, the Wadawurrung People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
Commitment to Child Safety
Ballarat Grammar maintains a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of child abuse and actively implements measures to identify and manage any risks of harm to students within our school environment. The care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people are central and fundamental responsibilities of the School. We are firmly committed to fostering a child-safe culture that provides an environment where students are safe and feel safe, where their participation is valued, their views respected, and their voices heard in decisions that affect their lives. Ballarat Grammar values diversity and strictly prohibits any racist or discriminatory practices. All members of our school community share the responsibility to care for children and young people by promptly raising any concerns regarding their safety, promoting their wellbeing, and protecting them from all forms of harm or abuse.
