Uniform

Uniforms

When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.

Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:

meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation
includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics
is appropriate for the full range of school activities
is suitable for all body shapes.

Epping West Public Schoool uniform shop

Our school uniform shop is open every Wednesday from 8am to 12pm.

The Uniform Shop

The Epping West Uniform Shop is open every Wednesday from 9am to 12pm.

It is operated by volunteers and contributes all profits to the Parents and Citizens' Association (P&C) for the benefit of the children. This is a valuable method of raising funds for the school while maintaining the quality and continuity of our school uniform.

The uniform shop raises between $5,000 to $7,000 per year for the benefit of Epping West Public School children.

We are located between the canteen and staff car park.

We also purchase second hand uniforms, which children have outgrown. Only uniforms purchased from the Epping West uniform shop will be accepted for resale.

Summer uniform is worn from the beginning of Term 4 through to the end of Term 1 and winter uniform during Terms 2 and 3. There is normally a two week changeover period where both summer and winter uniform can be worn depending on the weather.

A sport uniform with house colours is worn by Years 3 to Year 6 on a Friday. A few years ago, the Epping West School Representative Council (SRC) voted for an alternative uniform for girls being the maroon dress shorts and grey polo shirt. This is ideal to wear on PE days or as an alternative to the summer dress or winter tunic.

We also have a representative uniform – for those representing the school in choir, band, debating etc.

We endeavour to make purchasing uniforms easy and convenient, and we are happy to help with sizing. We take cash and cheque only.
