Uniform Updates
REPRESENTATIVE SPORTS
Students are now permitted to wear their correct (new) Girton sports uniform to and from school on the days when they are representing Girton in sport, in events such as Sandhurst or ICCES tournaments. In the instance that participants return to school earlier than expected and attend afternoon classes or assembly, they are permitted to remain in their sports uniform.
The sports uniform applicable to this allowance consists of the Girton tracksuit top and pants, and the white representative polo top. During Term 1 the Girton sports shorts may be worn instead of the track pants.
LONG SLEEVE TRAINING TOP
The Girton navy, long sleeve, crew neck, training top has been approved to be worn as an optional item for PE classes. The top is not to be worn to sports carnivals, with House t-shirts remaining the appropriate attire for House Athletics and Swim carnivals.
JUNIOR SCHOOL TRACK PANTS
The Junior School fleece style track pants may now be worn from Prep to Year 6, where previously, the lighter-weight track pant was required from Year 3 onward.

WINTER SOCKS
The Uniform Committee wishes to confirm that blue socks must be worn by both boys and girls who chose to wear winter uniform trousers.
Uniform Supplier
Our uniform supplier, Bob Stewart, has commenced selling the Girton uniform at their store located at 108 High Street, Bendigo - just a few doors up from the Girton pub. Bob Stewart has taken delivery of all stock that was previously held by Bolton’s and this is now available for immediate sale.
Uniform items that were in short supply or not available at Bolton’s, will be ordered or manufactured as quickly as possible to ensure adequate in-store supply, and the Bob Stewart staff will be able to advise you of an ETA for any such items.
Bob Stewart will be establishing a ‘click and collect’ shopping service and this is expected to be available to Girton parents in October/November. Additionally, we are greatly comforted by discussions with the Bob Stewart staff in regards to the summer dress, and they are working towards having new summer dress stock, free from the dye bleed issue, on the shelves in time for Term 4.
