Uniform
This is a reminder that all students must be in a long-sleeve winter shirt Term 2 and 3.
Now that the school is back to the regular timetable, all school uniform should be purchased directly from the uniform shop, during opening hours.
Transferring funds onto your son’s school account, via Internet Banking, is a simple / contactless way of paying. If you require information related to the process, please contact the school office.
Most winter codes start next week. It is important that your son is in the appropriate school winter sport uniform. We talk to the boys about appropriate attire and representing the school accordingly. If you have not already done so, please organise for your son to purchase the related clothing from the uniform shop, during regular hours. The uniform shop is not open on a Friday.
The new and used shops are open Tuesday 3-4.30pm & Thursday 1.10 – 2.10pm
School Cross Country
The first inter-house competition for Term 2 runs on Thursday, 12 May. This is an opportunity for the day boy houses to attempt to take back some points from Scinde.
