How long can my child wear ‘old’ uniform items?
The transition period is two years. This allows for families to purchase new items over a two-year period. For example, if your child is in Year Eight and has a blazer with no braiding they can wear this blazer with no braiding until the end of 2027.
All students are expected to be in the refreshed uniform items by the start of the 2028 academic year.
Can I mix and match old (existing) and new uniform items?
Yes. The transition period will allow for a combination of new and old uniform items. All students, including all new students, will also be able to wear a combination of existing and new items during the transition period.
Can I still sell second hand uniform through the Uniform Shop?
No. The uniform shop is not accepting any second-hand uniform items. Existing second-hand stock will remain available for purchase from the Uniform Shop until November 28, 2025.
Can I still sell or purchase second hand uniform by private means? (for example, through the Parent Facebook page)
Yes. Parents can arrange to sell or purchase second hand uniform items privately. Please note however that reception and student services is not to be used as place of transaction between buyers and sellers.
What can I do with second-hand uniform items that are not suitable to sell?
As part of our commitment to sustainability and supporting families, the College will offer the opportunity to repurpose second-hand uniforms:
- College Recycling Program: We will be setting up donation boxes where families can recycle old uniform items that will be sent to Melbourne for shredding and repurposed into various materials. This is through the company UPPAREL.
- Materials Technology Use: Shirts will be reused as rags in our Materials Technology classes.
- New existing items from the Noone uniform shop will be donated to Rotary Donations in Kind, supporting communities in need.
