Reducing Clothing Waste

Give Your Child's
Uniform a Second Life

Good uniforms shouldn't go to waste. Our school uniform bank keeps outgrown clothing in the community and out of landfill — completely free.

Our Mission

"Together, we can support our school community while caring for our environment — reusing, reducing and recycling."

This initiative reflects our commitment to sustainability, inclusion and our UNICEF Rights Respecting School journey. By donating good-quality pre-loved uniform items, we reduce textile waste and help prevent clothing from going to landfill.

How It Works

Three simple steps to give a uniform a new home

1

Drop It Off

Bring clean, outgrown uniform items to the school office. Any item in good condition is welcome — labelled or not.

2

We Sort & Store

Mrs Sommerville and the school staff check and sort every donation by size and type, keeping everything organised and ready to collect.

3

Pass It On

Families collect what they need, completely free of charge. No fuss — just less waste and more wear.
