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)
  • wear closed in shoes with socks (no sandals, ‘crocs’ or thongs).

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

If transportation is an issue, your child may be eligible for the Assisted School Travel Program (ASTP) provided by the NSW Department of Education. ASTP provides individualised transport to and from school.

Application forms for Assisted School Travel are available from musec.reception@mq.ed.au. Contact us on +61 (2) 9850 8691 and we will assist you with completing and submitting the necessary paperwork.
