School Uniforms


Our thanks to all those who took the time to respond to our survey regarding the introduction of a compulsory uniform throughout the school. The result of this survey was that all but eight parents have indicated that they are in favour of having a compulsory uniform throughout the school by 2011. So the Board of Trustees have decided that this will be introduced.

 



The uniform will consist of:

· A maroon coloured school polo shirt available only through the school office. Orders may be placed with payment, sizes 6-14 $23, adult sizes $25 these will have printed school emblems. If you wish to have the embroidered emblems the cost will be $35 each.) We need to order shirts 5 at a time to avoid additional courier expenses so you may have to wait for delivery. So please order in advance of need!

· A maroon Polar Fleece jacket available through Postie Plus in Kaitaia.

· A maroon school sunhat (the school will supply these at this stage but in the future they may have to be purchased)

· Black pants, shorts, skirts or culottes available through Postie Plus (no skinny jeans or very short shorts)

· Long sleeved black skivvies can be worn under the school polo shirt in winter if wished but no coloured t-shirts or tops protruding.

· Black shoes, sandals or black jandals.

I would suggest purchasing more than one shirt and more than one of the bottom part of the uniform to allow for washing times.

There will be an incentive each term to come correctly dressed, this will be in the form of a prize draw at the end of the term for which entry will require the children to have been correctly dressed all term. It is hoped that this will encourage the children to transition to uniform without a fuss at home over what is appropriate uniform.
