Mufti Due to space limitations within the Boarding House, we ask that parents ensure boarders bring only a small mufti wardrobe to College, to wear outside College hours. This should comprise of at least one change of clothing for social occasions and one for casual wear. Boarders are encouraged to change into their casual clothing at the end of the College day as mufti is not permitted to be worn with uniform. All belongings are to be clearly named with woven tapes marked with the Boarder’s full first name and surname, not initials. If additional clothing is brought to College after the start of the College year, please ensure that it is also named. Other Laptop, phone, iPod, other devices as desired, low value jewellery to be worn with mufti. Remember to include the chargers (which must be tagged by a registered electrician as safe for use). Personal effects are not covered by school insurance and it is recommended that parents insure their daughter’s property.
