OUR UNIFORM

The uniform is a capsule style wardrobe with no summer/winter options. Instead students wear the garments that best keep them comfortable throughout the year. The choices are a skirt, a pinafore, culottes or trousers; long and short sleeves blouses and tshirts; a cardigan, a vest, a jersey, a blazer and a rain jacket. No item is compulsory apart from the PE uniform..

The uniform is sold at the NZ Uniforms shop on Thorndon Quay.
