Uniform Exchange
An initiative of the Sustainable Futures Group
It’s estimated that each year Australian schools send around 2,000 tonnes of uniforms to landfill.[1] To address this, Oxley’s Sustainable Futures Group is planning a uniform exchange on Tuesday 25 March 2025 (Week 9A) in the PCC from 3.45pm-5.30pm. This date has been selected as it is ahead of the winter sports season and ahead of the change to winter uniform in Term 2.
How will it work?
Clean and current uniform items can be dropped off at reception between 8.00am and 4.00pm Monday to Friday commencing Monday 10 March. Please refer to the online shop (Click here for the Uniform Shop) for details of current uniform.
Items must have the uniform exchange label clearly visible and fixed to the outside of the bag containing the items for the exchange. The uniform exchange label can be found here: Oxley News | Oxley College
In the spirit of the event, no money will change hands. No items will be accepted after 4.00pm Friday 21 March. Also, any unnamed items of lost property in Student Services not claimed by this date will be added to the items for exchange.
PCC doors will open at 3.45pm
- 3.45pm-4.30pm is only for those families who have contributed items to the exchange
- 4.30pm – 5.30pm for all others
Please email sustainability@oxley.nsw.edu.au if you have any questions.
