School Uniform

The summer uniform will start as of term 4. Hats are compulsory. Black School shoes are to be worn with the summer uniform.

Additionally, if you have any second hand uniforms in good condition, we would be grateful for your donations, we are currently running particularly low on smaller sizes.

Hats

We know how quickly school hats can go missing during these months! To make things easier, spare hats will be available to purchase directly from the school office from late next week (cash and card accepted). 

A reminder that with Spring comes higher UV levels and that means all children are required to wear their hats for the remainder of the year during play times. 

Orders due back by 25 October 2026

School Counsellor - Calming Paws

 We are fortunate enough to have our school counsellor, Maria Russell, working at St. Columba's each Thursday morning. Maria is passionate about creating a safe, comfortable space for students to navigate everyday challenges. To aid in building a calming atmosphere, Maria brings along her puppy, Winnie, to support her work.

Research shows that therapy dogs can reduce anxiety and boost emotional well-being, and Winnie is already proving to be a comforting companion for students during their visits.  

For more information about what Maria can offer, please contact Bern bernb@scelwood.catholic.edu.au
