SCHOOL UNIFORM

In consultation with Sydney Catholic Schools, our School will no longer be acting as an agent for the Uniform supplier. While the current arrangement has provided cheaper uniforms it has also created a workload that is no longer sustainable.

This means that a new three-year contract will be finalised shortly. There is NO design change to the actual uniform.

The new supplier will have a store in the local area which means that there will be more opportunities for families to purchase uniforms outside of school hours. Families will also have the option of ordering online and having them delivered, either to the School for collection or to your home.

These were the two most popular requests from the recent survey that was conducted.

The tender process was facilitated by a member of the Sydney Catholic School’s procurement team and included a parent from our School.

At this stage we are looking at these new arrangements beginning at the start of Term 2, 2026. This is when the students begin to wear the winter uniform.

This will provide time to relinquish our current stock before the new supplier takes over.

This may mean that, at some point, some items of our uniform will not be available. This is unavoidable. However, the School will provide alternatives for families during that time.

While the prices will be higher, they will be on par with what families in other Catholic Schools in our area are paying.

I would like to acknowledge the work that has been done by Kaye Palmano, Elizabeth Wilson and Helen Williams who have worked tirelessly, without being paid, to ensure the success of the Uniform Shop over many years. Their selfless generosity has made this arrangement possible.

These three wonderful ladies have agreed to continue to provide this service until the new arrangements come into effect and then they have agreed to continue to run a second-hand uniform shop throughout 2026.
