Queen Margaret College is proud of our uniform which instils a sense of unity and belonging, and connects to our College’s rich history and the countless remarkable women who have previously studied on Hobson Street.

We ask that students maintain a high standard of dress and grooming during learning hours, while travelling to and from the College, and when representing QMC at events. Please see our QMC Uniform Guidelines.
