Uniform News!

Firstly, thank you for your patience during our uniform review period - it has taken a long time! Many of you have been holding off buying any new items, especially waiting for the new logo to go onto the various tops. The PTA second-hand uniform shop has been well-used. Secondly, thank you to everyone who participated in the consultation opportunities (parents, PTA, board, staff and students) - your feedback was very helpful, and as a result adjustments and changes were made throughout our review.

The new uniform list is now complete, see attached. All items are sold by Mainland Uniforms, and will be for sale as soon as they are available. Some pieces are available for purchase now, such as the shorts, skorts, socks etc; others will be ready very soon, such as the sweatshirt, fleece, soft-shell jacket, sports shirt; while others will take a wee bit longer, such as the polo shirt. We are hopeful that before 2023 the full range will be ready. Students can wear a mix of old and new uniform items for the time-being.

• The uniform is non-gender defined and non-season defined
• Years 7&8 polo shirt still differs slightly from Years 0-6
• There are fewer items and it will cost families less overall
• Years 5-8 have a sports uniform. This is compulsory in Years 7&8. The sports shirt will be needed when participating in representative school sports teams in Years 5-8.

There is no expectation to purchase all of the new uniform immediately, please purchase it when your children outgrow their current items and new purchases are needed. Both old and new uniform pieces will be acceptable for the next couple of years.
