Uniform Policy
Onslow College is one of only three Colleges within the Wellington Region that has no officially enforced dress code. The uniform code was removed in protest of the students during the late 60's and early 70's. Uniforms were seen by the students as a waste of their teachers time and was slowly but eventually removed in stages; with the gloves and hats being the first to be removed. A school-wide student strike was the major turning point in the removal of the uniform, an event which attributed to the colleges individuality and its unique 'Onslow Way'.

“He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Men must learn now with pity to dispense,
For policy sits above conscience.”
