Uniform Change
We want our students to be active, running, climbing, playing and although the black leather shoes look great, they are not the most practical for active little feet.
It is optional and the sneakers are required to be totally black, as per the photo below and on our website. Students can wear the black sneakers as both sports and formal uniform. On Sports days the predominantly black, white or grey shoes are permitted.
Please note - no skater shoes (volley) style for either sports or formal uniform.
Local sports stores have been informed of this change to our uniform.
- When people appreciate what they have.
- Watching and listening to students use their manners.
- When people show respect for each other.
