Please note the following procedural change to the second hand uniform shop from the commencement of Term 3. 

All items of clothing received by the second hand uniform shop from the start of Term 3 which sell for $10 or less be accepted only as a donation, with no portion of the sale price returned to the provider

We would like to thank our PFA volunteers for their time and effort coordinating the second hand uniform shop and also the wider Koonung community for their support of this activity.

Key points for Winter Uniform (Terms 2 & 3)

Thank-you for wearing the correct Koonung winter uniform throughout Term 2 2021. The uniform exemplifies students’ pride in being part of the Koonung community. It unites us, and provides a sense of belonging, saying we are all in this together.   By showing that we expect high standards with our uniform, expectations are raised, and it is important in developing a sense of identity and pride for our students.
