Uniform Shop News Are you looking for a bargain? The Uniform Shop will have a sale of second hand jumpers, in great condition, for $1 each on the first Wednesday of each month, just in time for the colder weather. The P&C operate the Uniform Shop as a service to our families. Prices are at cost or just a little more and all the profits return to support our students. If you can’t make it to the shop in opening hours, you can place an online order through Munch Monitor and Beth will deliver the items to your child.
