Uniform

UNIFORM SHOP

An independent Uniform Shop is located on the ΢Åĸ£Àû grounds. 

UNIFORM SHOP OPENING TIMES:

Tuesday (during school term): 8:30 – 9:15am
Thursday (during school term): 2:45 – 3:15pm

Alternatively uniform orders can be completed on our online store, orders can be picked up from reception or sent to your child’s classroom.

All uniform items are to be labelled with student’s name, preferably with a sewn, printed label.

Students will not be permitted to wear non-΢Åĸ£Àû clothing, nor will they be permitted to wear a combination of sports and general uniform. Shirts must be neatly tucked in at all times, except when involved in sport or active recreation during recess or lunch times. It is the responsibility of the student to wear the uniform neatly without needing to be reminded.

The way in which the School uniform is worn has a strong influence on how we feel about ourselves and the ways in which we are viewed by others. Every student’s standard of dress and grooming is expected to reflect well on both the individual and the School as a whole, even if outside of School hours. If a student is not able to wear the correct uniform, a letter of explanation must be brought to school and presented to their class teacher. You can also use the ‘Out of routine’ eform.

Garments have been designed to be as inexpensive as possible, given our commitment to having a uniform which is practical and attractive. Parents do need to make financial provision for the purchase of the total uniform, which includes a compulsory Sports and PE uniform.
