Uniform Focus Group – Sport Uniform 

As mentioned in the last newsletter, I am in the process of creating a Uniform Focus Group in response to parent and student feedback on the Shelford Sport Uniform. The group will comprise of staff and students, whose primary focus will be to review and provide feedback on the design, functionality, and overall suitability of our current sport uniform.  They will also evaluate and consider factors such as comfort, and durability and will identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. The group will work closely with relevant Shelford and Noone staff to inform the design process and will make recommendations on a new Sport uniform that will meet the needs of our students and when worn will promote a sense of pride amongst our students. 

Congratulations to the following students who have secured a place in the group: 

I would love to hear from any Year 10s who would like to be involved in the process. Please email expressions of interest to Ms Cutajar by Monday 5 June.

Student Safety

The safety and wellbeing of our students is paramount. We ask that all parents please do the following when collecting students at the end of the day:

• When possible, please park further away from Shelford and walk up to Hood Crescent for student collection. 
• Where appropriate, please encourage students to walk/bike/scooter/take public transport to school. 
• If your daughter is in Junior School, please collect her from the JS gate (Gate 3) not from across the road. 
• If your daughter is in Senior School, please do not double park in Hood Crescent. Following pick-up, please continue driving slowly (less than 40km,) with an awareness of the Junior School gate, to ensure the safety of Junior School parents and students crossing Hood Crescent. 
• Please do not park in the staff car park, Church grounds or the Doctor’s surgery car park. 

Thank you in advance for your support of these measures which will help to ensure the safety of our students and their families at the end of each school day.
