Primary Girls Winter Uniform
- Tunics are to be worn with a long or short sleeve white blouse with round collar and either white ankle socks or black opaque tights.
- Skort is to be worn with either the short or long sleeve blouse with either white ankle socks or black opaque tights.
The phase in of the new uniform will happen gradually over this year and next year with the expectation that all students are in the new tunic /skort in winter 2025. This means that the current year 5 and 6 students do not need to purchase the new uniform as they will be in Secondary when the transition period ceases.
