• Parents will be able to obtain the uniform from the school’s uniform supplier, the school’s preloved uniform stock or commercial outlets.
• The Uniform Policy should be read in conjunction with the Sunsmart Policy.
• The Uniform Policy will be published each year in the Family Information Booklet.
