Uniform

We have noticed some items of clothing that are not school uniform.  The holidays are a good time to purchase items needed as the weather gets colder.  Next term we will be checking correct uniform and sending reminder notes home if it is not correct.  We appreciate our parents support to ensure children are in the correct uniform.

 

Some reminders:

 

  • Only Navy leggings can be worn under tunics and skorts
  • Headscarves must be navy or white
  • Please do not wear colours other than our uniform colours under Tshirt/shirts
  • School Jumpers must be worn
  • Black leather shoes or black runners
  • Navy headscarves and turbans can be worn
  • Ribbons can be red, blue or white
  • Socks can be white or navy
  • You are also able to purchase navy pants or navy shorts/skorts at any department store. Tracksuit pants are not part of the uniform
