Transition to Summer Uniform

With the start of spring, weather conditions can be quite variable, some days will be warm, while others may be cooler. For this reason, there will be a transition period to summer uniform for the remainder of the term. Students may choose to wear either summer or winter uniform depending on the expected temperature on any given day.

If students need extra layers for warmth during this transition, please ensure that these are worn over their uniform, rather than underneath, so they can be easily removed as the day warms up.

From Day 1 of Term 4, all students are expected to be in summer uniform.

Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child's name and class.

Thank you for your cooperation.
