  • Winter formal is to be worn this term.  This is for students from year 3 to year 6 only.  Foundation to year 2 students only wear the Sports Uniform.   There is a 2 week changeover period from summer to winter uniform depending on the weather, so by week 3 all applicable students will need to wear the winter uniform.  Click here to read our school uniform policy
  • Shoes on formal uniform days should be a black shoe which is able to ‘take a shine’ and be a ‘leather look’.  
  • Boys can wear grey shorts instead of trousers – providing they have the long sleeve shirt and jumper on as well.  It is not part of uniform policy but we acknowledge that shorts are a better option for some boys.   A note to the teacher at the start of term advising us that the student will be wearing shorts is requested.
