New School Uniform
Dear Parents/Caregivers
I have been communicating via my daily updates that our new school uniform has arrived and will go on sale from Week 3 this term. I will communicate the dates and times that the uniform can be purchased during this time of Social Distancing, however it will be more readily available when things get back to normal. No one knows that answer at this stage.
The new uniform will have a 12 to 18 month phase in period so that you can continue to use the current uniform during this time. I know many children’s uniforms are still in good condition and I don’t want anyone to be financially impacted.
Alongside my letter will be a one page flyer with the new uniform with pictures and prices. In terms of the current stocked uniform I will list prices below which are being sold at half price.
New Uniform items on the flyer (parents source own socks)
● the shorts and polo are for everyday use. We no longer have a specific sports uniform as our uniform will be for all events (boys and girls)
● navy skorts (girls)
● summer dress (girls)
● the tracksuit pants and tracksuit jacket too are for everyday use (boys and girls)
● winter tunic (girls)
● school cap (boys and girls)
● navy socks (boys)
● white socks (girls)
Timeline and where to buy
● The new school uniform will only be sold through the Uniform Patch shop located in Campbelltown - Shop 405 inside Spotlight Plaza, 147 Queen St . To contact the Uniform Patch, please call (02) 4627 6277 or email uniformpatch@gmail.com . Sales for new uniforms will start from Monday 11th May 9.00am - 5.00pm and Thursday 14th May 9.00am - 7.00pm. These are the two days the shop will be open until further notice.
● The current school uniform stock will be available at half price through the Uniform Patch from Thursday 7th May 9.00am-7.00pm (one week earlier). It will then continue to be sold at the shop with the new uniform until the stock runs out. We will keep you posted with that. Current stock at half price from the Uniform Patch includes: Winter jacket $17.50, Culottes $10.50, Yellow shirts $11.00.
● The only new uniform items the school will have extra stock of are the school caps. We will also be selling our school library bags through the front office. In the short term we will also sell the current Sports jacket $20.00, sports shirt $9.00 and sports shorts $9.00 at half price through our school office as the Uniform Shop just doesn’t have the room (I think half the store will be St Andrews). If you would like to purchase these items at half price please ring the school office from outside the gate and one of the office staff will meet you at the gate so you can enter the office area.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact the Uniform Patch direct or ring our school office.
We are really excited about how our children will look and confident the quality is excellent. The jackets are really warm and feedback from other schools is that they haven’t needed to add long polos or thin jumpers underneath during the colder months. I guess that will just be an individual parent's decision.
We had such a good plan with introducing our new uniform earlier, however with Covid 19 and so many restrictions we think this is the best way forward. Please be patient and if we have to iron out any potential issues we will keep parents updated on any improvements to the transition and beyond. I know many of my staff are super excited and want to buy the new uniform for themselves with the addition of staff displayed on the uniform. We’ll send lots of photos through on FB as children begin to wear their new uniform.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Batty
Principal
