Principal’s message
Proudly introducing the new
Siena College Uniform for 2013
It is with much pleasure that I introduce the new Siena College
uniform. It is the result of eighteen months of planning and
consultation and was designed to reflect the history and
Dominican tradition of Siena College and to serve the College well
into the future.
2013
The distinctive, rust blazer has been retained as the one constant
feature of all the uniform changes across the seventy-two year
history of Siena College. It reflects the rich, rust coloured soils of
Siena in Italy, the birthplace of our patron, St Catherine of Siena.
The rust colour is also a symbolic link between Siena and the red
soil at the centre of Australia. The new colours of black and white
connect our community to Dominicans around the world.
In developing the new uniform, we have been guided by
Francis Stewart from our uniform supplier, Bob Stewart.
Francis’ expertise and advice based on many years of
experience has been invaluable. I thank the members
of the Uniform Committee and all who offered advice
and suggestions. Thanks to this dedicated team and the
contribution of current and past students, staff, parents and
Dominican Sisters, we now have a modern, elegant and stylish
uniform that reflects both our Siena and Dominican history.
All new students in 2013, whether beginning at Year 7 or in other
year levels, will be required to purchase the new uniform. A two
year changeover period is envisaged, during which current
students are required to wear either the new uniform or a current
uniform, but not mix and match items. I look forward to seeing
all students new to our College in 2013 wearing the new uniform
with pride.
