Uniform Shop Announcement

We are thrilled to announce that our Uniform Shop has partnered with UPPAREL, a company dedicated to recycling old uniforms in an environmentally responsible way. UPPAREL specialises in taking discarded uniforms, shredding them, and transforming the material into various products like cushion inserts. This initiative is not only a fantastic step towards sustainability but also helps protect our School’s logo by ensuring that old uniforms don’t end up in thrift shops.

However, it’s important to note that this recycling service comes with a cost. To cover this expense, we will be using proceeds from the shop, which still includes the sale of secondhand uniforms. This means that the more donations of good quality secondhand uniforms we receive, the more we can continue supporting this environmentally friendly program.

We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of our first batch of UPPAREL collection boxes in the coming weeks and can’t wait to start the recycling process. For more information about UPPAREL and their services, you can visit their website at upparel.com.au.

As a reminder, the Uniform Shop is school-managed, with all proceeds directly benefiting the School. Please also note that the SPA runs its own independent secondhand uniform stall at the American Tea. This is entirely separate from the Uniform Shop, and we fully support their efforts – we are on the same team!

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make a positive impact on the environment.
