Every child counts
and every child matters!

Uniform

Wearing the school uniform reflects our identity not only at school but also within the wider community. The uniform is an important part of our school tradition. Our hope is that children wear their uniform with a sense of pride and belonging. 

When students are attend excursions, positive comments are often received regarding our students and they identify the school through the school uniform. The wearing of the uniform not only reflects who we are, but it eliminates any competition and fashion wear as well as any arguments at the beginning of the day regarding what to wear to school.

All St Thomas More's students are required and expected to wear the correct uniform. If students are not wearing the correct uniform, a uniform note will be sent home from the class teacher identifying the uniform area to be addressed.

The Uniform Shop is located in the front office and is open Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 3:30pm. All uniform orders and payments are to be made through the QKR app, and delivered to the child's classroom or for collection at an arranged time.
