If you are unable to come into school before the start of the new school year, you may collect your uniform from the uniform shop on the first floor of the Secondary Campus from Wednesday 26 August onwards. Lockers: Students will be able to select a locker and place their own padlock on it during the school day on Wednesday 26 August. Lockers are allocated on a first come, first served basis so please make sure your child comes to school with their padlock on the first day. We recommend a combination padlock since this solves the problem of lost keys!
