The MUSEC School uniform comprises of:
- aqua blue school shirts (available for sale at the school)
- navy-blue shorts, pants or skirt that your child is comfortable to wear.
All students must:
- have a hat (preferably navy blue)

School shirts are only available through the school. MUSEC does not sell any other part of the uniform.
