Outrage from Wellington parents as a school changes uniform requirements.

Year Nine pupils at Wellington College must now wear blazers and ties, which come with a price tag of almost $300.

Some parents aren't happy about the change during a cost of living crisis.

Vaughan Couillault of the Secondary Principals' Association says uniform changes usually aren't cheap.

"You can't put a cheap blazer onto a student these days, it's usually $250 to start with."
