We wish to share some exciting news in regards to our school uniform.
We are currently dedicating significant time and research into updating the Emmanuel school uniform. We are continually encouraged and blessed by the growing number of enrolments, the improvement to the grounds, and the wonderful opportunities that have been provided.
Elements of our uniform have not altered since 1979, and it is fair to say there have been successful and not so successful changes.
We are striving to ensure our uniform is comfortable, practical, functional, and versatile enough to accommodate all students. From the school's perspective, we are aiming for a professional smart uniform that reflects our values as well as giving the students a sense of pride and an understanding of school expectations. There is likely to be some simplification of the uniform with a clear distinction between Primary and Secondary and lastly more distinguishable features so we are not confused with other local schools.
The new school uniform policy will be clear and concise with no room for interpretation.
You will be kept up to date and a letter will be communicated early in Term four outlining a timeline for phasing in and out of certain items. We are mindful of ensuring that any financial burden is kept to an absolute minimum.
Our colours will remain the same but we can tell you we are carefully considering changing the red tartan for a more modern professional look.
We ask for your patience through this process as this is quite a large undertaking with many aspects to be considered.
