New P.E. uniform
We are excited to share with you our new P.E. uniform, available from the end of February.  We have maintained the same colour top and added a coloured band on the sleeve corresponding with our four House colours.  The new fabric is hard wearing,  moisture wicking and quick drying.   The new PE shorts are in the same new fabric and have a very small school monogram ‘pip’ label on the bottom of one leg.  Orders can be made now using the uniform order form CLICK HERE.

NOTE:  We have a two year turn-around period for the adoption of the new PE uniform.  The old style PE uniform can still be worn until the beginning of the 2025 school year.

School Lunches
School lunches will be available to order again in 2023 from dollar for schools.  Lunch ordering will commence on  Wednesday the 15th February.  Lunch orders will only be available on Wednesdays and Fridays this year.
