ST MARK'S NEWSLETTER

Uniform Shop

Dear School Community,

We're writing to advise you that there was a significant fire at our retail and warehouse location at 151-159 Princes Hwy, Hallam. As a result, we have lost a substantial amount of stock, the extent of which we are still investigating.

 

This will have the most substantial impact on schools whose uniform is sold in our Hallam store, but will likely impact all schools to a degree since the fire impacted a primary warehousing location. Further details have been provided in the attached letter. 

We would appreciate if you can share this information with the wider school community as you see fit, to ensure families know about the potential impact to stock shortages and product delays. We will provide further updates as we respond to the situation, and thank you for your patience as we work through this unprecedented situation.  

Kind regards,

Katie Rogers

Dear School Community,

Information Regarding Fire at Hallam Retail and Warehouse Location

Last night, there was unfortunately a significant fire at our retail and warehouse location at151-159 Princes Hwy, Hallam. As a result, we have lost a substantial amount of stock that was kept on-site, and will not be able to operate out of the retail space. As this is very recent, we are still responding to the situation and working out the best approaches to ensure we can replenish the lost stock as quickly as we can. We will of course be endeavouring to resume retail operations as soon as possible, however at this stage we do not know what that will look like. We will provide updates on the situation as soon as we know more. This will have the most noticeable impact on the schools that we sell for in our Hallam store, however as it is one of our primary warehousing locations as well, the loss of stock will impact all schools to a degree. We know that this is not an ideal situation, however we ask for your patience and understanding for any delays or stock shortages that result from this unprecedented situation. It is not a situation that can be prepared for in advance, but we will respond as thoroughly and as quickly as we can to each stock shortage. For any families who need to purchase for an impacted school, our online store is still available at www.beleza.com.au/online-store/. We will be fulfilling orders as quickly as possible, however with the combination of pre-existing School Saving Bonus orders and the stock shortages resulting from this fire, please be advised that there may be significant wait times due to processing and production requirements. We don’t have any additional information at this stage, but will provide further updates as soon as we know more. We’d like to thank you for your patience at this time. If you have any urgent enquiries, please call us at (03) 9702 3218 or email us atbeleza@beleza.com.au and we will assist as best we can.

Kind regards,

School Shirts with St Mark's Logos

The uniform shop is now selling white summer and winter shirts for boys and girls that feature the school logo. Plain white shirts will be phased out over the next 12 months. All children will be required to wear the school shirt with the logo from 2025 onwards.

 

Beleza are offering to deliver orders to St Mark's once a week when families order online. Please see the flyer above.

 

 

**PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LABEL JACKETS & JUMPERS**

  • We highly recommend that parents use both an iron on name label as well as a silver / gold permanent pen (not black please as it quickly becomes unrecognisable);
  • Do not label the tag of the jacket/jumper as it is too difficult to distinguish names when they’re handed into lost property & the tag is too easily cut off;
  • Please write your child’s name in several places on the inside & check each time after washing the item as pen will fade & iron labels fall off.
  • Please check that your child does not have someone else’s jacket/jumper as these can often be innocently placed into the wrong school bag or unintentionally picked up by a child thinking it was theirs;

** The more jackets/jumpers that are labelled properly the more chance of it being returned to you**
