Keeping warm in winter
The College uniform is designed to allow students flexibility of choice in terms of what they wear in varying weather conditions. Students may wear either the full formal winter or full formal summer uniform throughout the year in line with the school uniform guidelines on the College website here.
With the cooler temperatures now upon us, students can keep warm by wearing an undershirt/thermal (which is not to be visible) under the blouse or polo top.
Students can also wear a cardigan and the jumper under the blazer.
The soft-shell jacket is a compulsory part of the Kinder–Year 2 uniform. All other year levels may wear the jacket over their sports or formal uniform if weather requires additional wind/rain protection.
School bus survey | Have your say
St Mary's College is exploring the option of a bus service for Junior School families on the Eastern Shore, and we are inviting parents and carers to provide their feedback via an online survey.
An email was sent to all Junior School families this morning containing more information on the proposed bus service.
Please find the link to the survey below.
We would appreciate if the survey could be completed by Wednesday 15 May 2024. We thank you for your assistance.
