Correct Wearing of the Uniform
We believe all children should take pride in their appearance and in this regard we ask for:-
- Clean, polished shoes.
- Long socks should be worn up, garters may be necessary.
- Shirts tucked in.
- Singlets and vests not showing at neck lines.
- Hair fastened back with appropriate clips/bands, we sell these in school colours.
- Jerseys to be worn properly or taken off, not tied around waists or draped over shoulders.
- No make-up or jewellery apart from watches.
Please Name Clothing
Please clearly mark all children's clothing as often items go missing. If it is marked, then we are able to return it to the correct owner.
Girls Uniform
Girls Winter Uniform
The winter uniform has been designed with the ability to resize, and most girls only require one winter uniform for their six years at Mellons Bay. Each year they should be dry cleaned only and the hem let down to provide longevity.
There is a made to measure service available at the same cost as the uniform shop dresses if none are suitable. Please see the uniform shop for contact details and ordering. This usually takes two appointments with the dressmaker. The dressmaker will charge approximately $25 for alterations. Tears in pleats can also be replaced or repaired.
