General Expectations: Wear our uniform with pride. 

HPC expects students to maintain a high standard of dress and personal presentation at all times, including a clean, tidy and correct uniform as a condition of attendance which is agreed upon at enrolment.

Any variations to the uniform code must be approved by the Board of Trustees.

The standard for clean, tidy and correct uniform, including hair and grooming, is determined by the Senior Leadership Team.

Girls’ skirts must be mid-calf length i.e. midway between ankle and knee. Students will be required to adjust the hem or replace skirts which are shorter than this.

Students are encouraged to wear the uniform cap during the summer months. No other hats, sports hats or beanies are permitted and the college cap must be worn correctly.

The standard HPC jacket is the only jacket allowed. Passes will not be issued for any other jackets. For additional warmth in winter, it is recommended that all students wear extra layers of clothing; however, these must be white or black depending on the colour of the shirt/blouse and must not be visible.

During the summer months, all students wear the prescribed black Roman sandals or McKinlays safari sandals as indicated by the school’s online uniform provider. During winter, only black leather, low heel, standard lace up school shoes are accepted.

Photos of students who are not in correct uniform including sports uniforms will not be published or posted in any school communication.

Taonga,  Tā Moko and Korowai

Tangata Whenua, that is rangatahi of Māori ancestry, are afforded the right under Te Tiriti to wear a Taonga of cultural significance in the form of a traditional Māori neck pendant with school uniform and visible Tā Moko.

The Taonga must be of greenstone or bone and may be worn tucked in close to the heart or on the outside lower than the vee of the shirt or jersey.  Taonga must be tucked in or removed for health and safety reasons in PE, sports and workshop classes.

To protect the integrity of Taonga and Tā Moko, a register will be kept by the  school and if needed, clarification will be sought by the designated te pouarahi (Māori leader).

A korowai of cultural significance may be worn at special formal occasions such as awards ceremonies, formal prize givings and graduation.

Other Items of Cultural, Spiritual or Sentimental Value and Jewellery

The only jewellery students may wear is one plain silver or gold stud in each ear. Nose or other facial studs are not permitted including clear studs and spacers.

Students (other than rangatahi of Māori ancestry) may wear a pendant if it has significant cultural, spiritual or sentimental value. This must be worn tucked inside the shirt and not visible. A register will be kept of pendants of cultural, spiritual or sentimental significance. Tattoos must be covered.

Badges earned at school or a school related event (RMK badges, Blues and Leadership badges) may be worn with school uniform.

Hair and Makeup

Natural is a key word when it comes to hair, makeup and fingernails.

Hair must be clean, neat and tidy and styled in a reasonably conventional manner including natural hair colourings.  Hair must be kept out of students’ eyes and long hair (i.e. over the eye brows or touching the collar) must be tied back at all times.

Girls are permitted to wear natural looking makeup only. Finger nails and eye lashes must also be of a natural look.

Boys must be clean shaven.

Number Ones (dress uniform) and Special Occasions

Our ‘number ones’ are our highest expression of our collective identity as a school and reserved for student leaders and sports teams. See further down for more information on these.

The PE uniform consists of a Hapu shirt and plain black HPC shorts (no touch or league shorts) and suitable footwear (sports, running or court shoes)
