Our Avonhead School Uniform

Vicki Lewis - May 18, 2022

We are proud of our school, our uniform and our values. Lately however, we have noticed some students arriving at school not wearing the correct Avonhead uniform.

We are starting to see different coloured pants, tops and hats and socks starting to appear as well as summer uniform. With the winter months approaching and colder temperatures it is important that all children are in their winter uniform. A huge thank you to all our whānau whose tamariki are wearing our school uniform.  If you need any second hand uniforms or support with this, please feel free to contact our friendly office staff. 

Compulsory Uniform for Girls and Boys

You have some choice of clothing items you can purchase for your children. Uniform items are available at The Warehouse, 265 Blenheim Road Ph 348 6500 and Mainland Uniforms@Ilam Shop 6, Fendalton Village, Corner of Ilam & Clyde Rd, Christchurch, Phone 351-7666. You can buy uniform online from Mainland by going to their website: https://www.mainlanduniforms.nz/68-avonhead-school-ilam-store


The clothing listed below can be worn in the summer and/or winter. Eg, some children prefer to wear shorts all year round and this is perfectly acceptable.

Please name all your children’s clothing. We are amazed at the amount of unclaimed clothing we gather at the end of the year. In all cases, the uniform that has our logo must not be substituted for some generic ‘look alike’ clothing without a logo.
