The PTA operates a scheme for the sale of second-hand uniforms. Sales are held at the end of the school year and towards the end of January. The sales will be advertised and are in the school newsletter. At other times, items can be bought or sold by arrangement with Angela in Student Administration. If, for any reason, a student has to wear an item of non-regulation clothing to school, they must bring a note from parent/caregiver explaining the reason and bring this to the Associate Principal or a Deputy Principal.
