UNIFORM

The first week of the upcoming Semester break is a good time for your daughter to audit her school uniform items to ensure that she is ready to return to school on Monday, July 20.

Things to consider include:

  • ALL ITEMS CLEARLY LABELLED 

~ SURNAME, Initial

  • Shoes ~ condition of and polish
  • Size/Fit of all items
  • Length of skirt  ~ below the knee when standing
  • Length of tailored slacks 
  • Blouses ~ Does she need a long-sleeved blouse for the cooler weather?
  • Blazer ~ Does this need to be dry cleaned or pressed?
  • College Formal Hat ~ Does the band need to be replaced?

ALL ITEMS CLEARLY LABELLED WITH SURNAME

The best way for your daughter to secure her belongings is to have them clearly labelled. It is not enough that she can identify her own items; it is essential that anyone can identify an item as hers, so that, in the event it is misplaced, it can be returned.

Here is an example of what  clear labelling includes:

SURNAME, Initial

It is unfortunate that so many hats (both the Formal College Hat and Sports Caps) are misplaced, so here are some tips on how your daughter can label her College hat:

  • Fabric Marker: Use a Sharpie Laundry Marker on the care instruction label (available at Coles/Woolworths). There is also a white  Artline Laundry Marker (available at Big W and online at Amazon).
  • Iron On: Use a marker and label that is designed for this purpose (often comes as a kit ~ search for Iron-On Name Tag Kit). The label could be ironed onto the reverse side of the Formal Hat band or onto the inner band or crown fabric.
  • Permanent Marker: Use a black permanent marker on the inside tag.
