Uniforms
School Dress Requirements
Our Uniform Shop will be open on Tuesday, 31 January 2023 between 10am and 12pm.
The wearing of the school uniform is supported strongly by the community and is a symbol of pride in the school. There is an expectation that all students will comply with the dress requirements. Uniforms can be purchased from the P & C Association Uniform Shop. Placing your order at the start of each season will help the P & C with bulk purchasing. Some recycled “pre-loved” clothes are also available from the P & C.
The Uniform Shop is run by volunteers and is usually open once a week from 8.30 am to 9.00 am. Please check with our Front Office to find out which day the uniform shop is open. If you are unable to attend during these times, please complete an order form (see below) and submit it to the Front Office. The order will be filled at the next opportunity.
If you wish to assist in the uniform shop, please see the P&C Committee.
