PURCHASING THE UNIFORM

Uniforms are available on the internet 24/7. They are available from the beginning of the fourth term. The supply will then be within 10 days of order – this includes embroidery and delivery. Families without internet access can use a school based machine or order from printed catalogues or by visiting the shop / showroom at Hanger 1, 82 Airport Avenue, Invercargill.
The skirt and culotte are the exception to this they may be viewed on the website but must be purchased from Postie Plus.

GUIDELINES

  • The School uniform will be compulsory and enforced from the beginning of the 2010 year.

  • Year 6 children will not be required to wear the uniform in 2010.

  • There will be a phase out period of the sports uniform of white polo shirt and blue knit shorts for 2010. Children will still be able to wear these T shirts at school and for a sports uniform.

  • The rugby jerseys that parents have purchased will be able to worn as part of the school uniform but no further jerseys will be able to be purchased.

  • Only garments ordered through the school supplier will be able to be worn to avoid similar non monogrammed upper garments or non regulation shorts or thermal items detracting from the uniform.

  • Shoes need to be practical and easily accessible. We recommend plain sports shoes, solid school shoes or sandals / crocs in summer. They do not include jandals, long boots, roller shoes or shoes of a distinctive colouring that may detract from the uniform.

  • Socks will be plain socks in white or neutral colour such as grey, black and brown or plain navy blue tights for girls as an option.

  • The sports uniform is able to be worn at school as uniform but we ask that at official or public occasions such as choir, school visits or school photos that children wear that regulation uniform.

  • A school hat is a regulation uniform item that needs to be worn in Term 1 and 4. It will be supplied by the Friends of Waihopai.
