Uniform & Shop
Wearing a uniform is a badge of pride, creates an identity for school and is an important part of being a HeadStart student. Uniforms are purchased at the school shop which is open every day during school hours. Fitting rooms are available adjacent to the school shop. There is a no-exchange policy once the uniform has been purchased. As children grow, new uniforms should be purchased to ensure appropriate, correct fit. Parents should ensure that their child is appropriately dressed for school. In all cases, the head of departments and Management will be the final arbiters in determining if the uniform/dress code is being infringed or not.
