Clarification of some uniform issues

We appreciate the help and support you are giving us in helping to keep uniform neat and tidy. Some areas are giving concern, and need to be clarified:

  1. Approved school shoes are black, leather lace-up shoes.
    If students have PE in the course of the day, they need to carry their sports shoes separately.

  2. Girls may wear the uniform grey trousers available from the uniform shop. Other makes and styles are not allowed.

  3. Students may wear either the school polo shirt, or a formal long-sleeved whie shirt with collar and school tie.

Barnados

Do you know any couples with no children living at home? Barnardos are currently seeking both full and part-time foster parents to staff an established mixed-gender family home in the Hutt Valley. Interested parties are welcome to contact Marlene Beasley or Mary Inglis to discuss the positions on 802-3520.

Everyone is warmly invited to take part in this enjoyable afternoon. It is a great chance to see different parts of the park.
