Provision of second-hand uniforms
Provision of second-hand uniforms
Second-hand uniforms can benefit all parents, particularly those on low incomes. In addition, by extending the life of garments, it is more sustainable. We ensure that arrangements are in place so that second-hand school uniforms are available for parents to acquire. If parents/carers require support with the provision of uniform, they should contact Mrs Leishman in the main office.
