Blazers are compulsory for all pupils. The tie is yellow, brown and green for everyone except the seniors (S5-S6), who wear a brown tie with the school crest. S4-S6 pupils achieving excellence in extra-curricular activities (for example representing their country at their chosen sport) are awarded a green Honours tie. Similarly, pupils in S5 and S6 may be awarded Colours and/or dates on their blazer. Half-Colours is a gold trim that extends around the cuff and bottom of the blazer, compared to full-Colours which also lines the collar. Colours and dates are awarded for excellence and/or achievement in music or sport. In academia, pupils who receive 5 As at Higher in S5 are awarded full Colours in S6.
