Uniform
The Naparima Girls' High School uniform has been proudly worn by thousands of successful young women throughout the decades. It is a symbol of dignity, discipline, morality and service to others, and continues to be a source of pride today, giving each student a sense of belonging to a sisterhood of outstanding achievers now spanning the globe. It is therefore the responsibility of each Naps girl to uphold this tradition of pride, reflected in the wearing of the uniform. Standards for grooming and dress are based on the health and safety of students as well as the appropriateness of the activity in which a student is engaged.
