Sports Hoodies On Sale

Sports hoodies are on sale again. Students who take part in sports are particularly encouraged to purchase one and wear it to their games and sports events.

Please note, these hoodies are NOT part of the uniform code and therefore it is unacceptable for them to be worn as part of the Years 9-11 uniform either at school or when travelling to/from school. They can, however, be worn by seniors as part of the mufti-code and by Years 9-11 students on a mufti-day. Sports hoodies are on sale again. Students who take part in sports are particularly encouraged to purchase one and wear it to their games and sports events. 

Please return the order form (available from Miss King) and make payment to the office by Friday 6 July. All proceeds from the sale of these hoodies go to Seeking Success.
