Uniform

Our uniform is sold through New Zealand Uniforms at their shop located at 19a Douglas Alexander Parade, Rosedale. Purchases can be made either online or in person at their store. NZ Uniform’s price current price list is shown below along with their contact details, hours and store location.

Great efforts have been made to achieve a reasonable cost to parents. We feel that children should be proud of their school and the wearing of the uniform certainly provides a sense of belonging and identity. This, in turn, tends to lead to the development of good working habits and self-discipline. All children are expected to wear correct school uniform at all times.

General Reminders:

It is expected that all students will take pride in their appearance ensuring all uniforms are worn correctly. Students must bring their PE uniform to school for PE, fitness and sports’ practices. House Tees must be worn for all house events.

All student uniform items must be clearly named to establish ownership and to help with the return of misplaced items. Enquiries about lost property can be made at the school office.

Students traveling on school trips or representing the school must be wearing the correct school uniform – unless otherwise advised (e.g. school camp).

Pupils will need to advise teachers with a note / email from home if they are not wearing the correct uniform for any reason.

In making its decision that there should be no exception to this uniform, the Board has asked that where there are any cases of genuine hardship, parents should please approach the Principal.
