The blazers are of black colour with the school badge on the left side attached to a pocket. The blazers are available for male and female pupils.

The school uniform represents an image of the school and is required for all pupils to wear at all times during school periods. From September 2008, the school will introduce a new set of sports clothing for both male and female pupils for Physical Education.
