Korowa’s distinctive uniform of cherry, white and grey has long been worn with pride by generations of students. From straw hats and checked summer dresses in the early 20th century, to today’s contemporary academic and sports uniforms, the Korowa uniform has evolved alongside the school itself. Historic uniform pieces are preserved in the School Archives, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Korowa students across more than a century.

Students today primarily wear: 

• Academic uniform (summer)
• Academic uniform (winter)
• Sports uniform

Uniforms can be purchased from Bob Stewart, Malvern, with a complete list available either via appointment in-store, or online. Gently used uniforms and textbooks can be bought and sold through the Sustainable School Shop, and twice yearly at the Korowa secondhand uniform stall.

All students from Years 5 to 12 are required to have a laptop for use in the classroom as part of their learning.

When it comes to purchasing a device for your child, we offer flexibility and the choice to either purchase independently according to our specifications or through our preferred supplier, Atturra.

Purchasing through our supplier provides the following advantages:

• All devices are set up and ready to go with all required software installed
• Onsite support through Korowa’s IT department
• Onsite repairs for warranty and damage provided at Korowa by the School’s selected technology partner
• Loan devices are available while repairs are completed
• Devices are covered by the Elite Support Program. Provided by the technology partner, this program includes an onsite technician, priority access to spare parts, a $100 capped repair program for accidental damage and access to industry leading service systems and processes.

Enrolled families will be given a link to Atturra, and a password, to purchase Korowa-approved devices. If you prefer to make your purchases independently, you will need to follow the specifications sent to you after enrolling, to ensure the device is approved for use at Korowa.

Affectionately known by students as “Tuckies”, the Sandra Ivory Café and Piazza is a welcoming social hub at Korowa. Located within Korowa's state-of-the-art Sports and Wellbeing Centre precinct, the café provides a wide range of fresh, hot and cold food options, made on-site, for students, staff and visitors throughout the school day.

Lunch orders can be placed online through Flexischools, and students can purchase selected items during the day using their student ID cards.

Beyond simply providing food, the café is part of daily school life: it is a place where students gather, themed menus complement school events, teachers meet, alumni reunions are hosted, parents are welcomed, and the entire school community is able to connect and enjoy time together.
