UNIFORM
As a school we believe unity is important, school uniform helps us all to identify as a member of the Avondale family. It also helps us to look really smart.
The school uniform colours are red, white and grey.
Avondale embroidered sweatshirts and polo shirts can be obtained by request from the office. To keep costs down for our parents Avondale stocks its own branded uniform.
However, parents may opt to make their own arrangements to purchase plain uniform. If purchasing plain colours then the shades are white, bright red and light grey.
The Uniform for both Infant and Junior children is as follows:
Girls: White polo shirt/T-shirt
Bright red sweatshirt/sweater/cardigan
Light grey skirt/pinafore (knee length) or grey/black trousers/shorts
White socks
Black shoes (maximum heel height of 1")
Alternative for summer is a red and white check dress
Boys: White polo shirt/T-shirt
Bright red sweatshirt/sweater
Light grey trousers (long/short)
Grey socks
Black shoes
At school we regularly have a committed eco-club who regularly
put on a used uniform sale. Please look out for further information
in the weekly newsletter.
SPECIAL CLOTHING
Parents are informed at the beginning of the School year the times of gym, sport, forest school, swimming etc. when special clothing is required at school for their children in each particular class. Parents are also asked to ensure that their children have the correct clothing in school on the specified days.
In addition, all classes undertake Art. It is ESSENTIAL that pupils are provided with an old shirt etc. which can be worn over their clothing. Overalls are not provided on a class basis and damage to clothing unfortunately cannot be reimbursed by the School.
