School Uniform

New items can be purchased from:

“Rockies”
Remarkables Park Shopping Centre
Telephone 442 8153



Please note that the school uniform monogrammed trousers are no longer available due to supply issues with the material.  Students are allowed to wear plain dark blue trackpants as an alternative to the trousers which are no longer available.

Secondhand Uniforms:
These are available at the school. Please see Karen Osborne, our Office Manager.

Please have high expectations for your child to keep uniform in a tidy condition. Please name all clothes and belongings. At the end of each term, any clothing left at school will be on display in the downstairs cloakroom. Any clothing left will be checked and named clothing will be returned. Un-named clothing that is of suitable quality will be washed and put into the second hand uniforms.
Please teach your child to be responsible for his or her clothing and belongings and have high expectations to achieve this.

We no longer have a summer and winter uniform. The only stipulations are that only school uniform items are visible, i.e. no mufti polypros. Also merinos are to be worn over, rather than under short sleeved polos and tights to be worn with pinafores only. We would suggest layering a mufti thermal top underneath the long sleeve polo shirt with the polar fleece in winter if you choose not to purchase the merino.

School Sports Uniform

Our sports uniform consists of a maroon tee-shirt, navy shorts, blue stadium track pants and a navy blue hoody. You do not have to buy a sport’s uniform but if your child represents the school in a number of sporting events, it would be a good idea for them to have their own sport’s uniform.  Please note that the sports hoody is not a daily uniform item and should not be worn to school except for sports events.
