Uniform

The Schooltrenz uniform shop has stock of a new Aitken hat for students. This hat replaces both previous hats (the wide brim and peaked cap). It is more sun-smart than the peaked cap, safer than the cap with the draw-string and will suit a broad age-range of students. Wearing of a hat during outside play is compulsory for all students in Prep to Year 6. Transition to the new hat will be over a three-year period. Sizes are Small, Medium and Large and they cost $21.95.

Later this year, in time for the start of 2019, the uniform shop will also have stocks of new navy coloured PE/Sport shorts; there will also be a three-year period to transition to these from the previous green shorts. Families will be notified when these shorts are available.

Canteen

If you use the online canteen ordering system (via the Flexischools website), please ensure that you hit “confirm” at the end of your order. The Canteen believe that some orders have failed because this last step has not been done. Online ordering information is on My Aitken at https://myaitken.fireflycloud.net.au/canteen/online-ordering
