Some of our students wearing the new school and senior uniform.
THE U SHOP OPENING - MONDAY 24 MAY 2021
This week saw the opening of the U-Shop located at 21 Gordon Road, Unit E, Wanaka. It has been great to see students showing up to school in the new uniform looking very smart.
Just a reminder that this is a transition year - students should either be in the new uniform or the old uniform. Year 12's who are leaving school at the end of this year will require a uniform pass (please see your dean). 2021 year 13's can stay in non-uniform mufti. The most commonly asked uniform questions are answered on our website, but please contact us if there is anything you're unsure about.
Before visiting The U Shop, it is a good idea to go to their website and create your account - this will save time when you go into the store. An account needs to be created for each student, even if they are receiving financial assistance. All details are held in their secure system and no details are ever given to a third party.

You can pre-order and pay for your uniform online. As the sizes can be quite different to other brands, we recommend that when you visit the shop to collect your order, the garments are tried on first by the student before leaving to ensure the sizing is correct.
Alternatively, you can visit the shop for a fitting and purchase your uniform in-store.

There is a $200 subsidy available per student in these circumstances. Please contact the college through the learn@mtaspiring.school.nz email to find out more about the application process for financial assistance with uniform purchasing.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION UNIFORM
With all of the upcoming changes to our uniform, we would like to remind the community that the Physical Education uniform has not changed. It continues to be:
Black and gold PE top - singlet or T-shirt (price includes student’s surname on back). Plain black shorts. A change of shoes and socks. Shoes are to be gym shoes with non-marking soles. In cold weather, sports appropriate warm clothing may be worn for PE.
Students should be aware of when they have practical Physical Education and need to bring their gear.
As we come into the colder months of the year we are starting to see students turn up with all sorts of gear. The sports appropriate warm clothing should not be worn as part of the regular school uniform with a good example of this being a black puffer jacket.
If you have any questions around this, please contact your child's Physical Education teacher or Neil Stuart, our head of learning area for Physical Education and Health.
