Shining Star School

The **Shining Star School** (샤이닝스타 스쿨) is a prestigious private school dedicated to training idols. It is the main setting of the animation *Shining Star*.
Entrance to the school is by performance audition only, and all prospective students are judged by the principal Big Jay and the school director Ms. Calliope. Once a student has been accepted to the school, they are given preliminary grades based on their performance in class and completion of their first mission "*Show me your talent*." Afterwards, the student's main goal is to raise their grade by continuing to attend their classes and by completing missions, which are tests given to an idol trainee to help prepare them for their debut. The winning idol group for each mission is awarded set of wardrobe cards to use in a future performance. After completing their first year at the school, students with A's can audition for the Debut Class. The Debut Class is the most elite class at Shining Star School and is taught by Ms. Calliope herself.

## Uniform

All Shining Star School students wear a uniform and are expected to display professionalism and class while at school. Each student also has a Shining Star School emblem pin, a Shining Star School ID card, and a Magic Agent (a computer-like console which gives the student guidance through an animated character, access to the Internet, and the ability to use their wardrobe cards to transform into their costumes for their performances).

**FEMALES:**

Shining Star School female students wear pink uniforms that consist of a long-sleeve top with the Shining Star School emblem pin and a skirt. There are one of three options for uniform tops: 1) a light pink long-sleeve blazer with light pink cuffs, dark pink buttons, and dark pink trim; 2) a contrasting blazer with a light pink bodice, dark pink sleeves, white cuffs, dark pink buttons, and dark pink trim; or 3) a dark pink long-sleeve dress shirt with white cuffs under a light-pink vest with dark pink trim. Each of the uniform tops has a dark pink bow at the neckline (except for Hera, who is seen wearing a dark purple bow with a flower in the middle). All of the female students wear a dark and light pink plaid short skirt (except for Casey, who is seen to be wearing her uniform top with black pants). Each of the female students are also seen wearing closed shoes such as sneakers, pumps, or boots.

For dance classes, Shining Star School female students wear long-sleeve white athletic jackets with contrasting colored sleeves and backs, athletic shorts with contrasting color trim (in the same color as the jacket), and some kind of sneaker. Many of them also wear knee-high socks. Hera is seen wearing a different outfit, consisting of a white T-shirt with black trim, jean shorts, and a Shining Star athletic jacket tied around her waist.

**MALES:**

Shining Star School male students wear uniforms that consist of a light blue dress shirt, a dark blue tie, a white long-sleeve blazer with dark blue cuffs, trim, and buttons, dark blue pants and dress shoes. They also have the Shining Star School emblem pin on their jackets
