INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS - School uniform items you can buy before coming to NZ

 

The Waimea College Uniform shop is situated on the school grounds and is the sole provider of the regulation Waimea College uniform.

 

Location of the Uniform Shop - Enter via the south entrance, go to the right, follow the hedge around and follow the signs.  We are by the gymnasium.

 

PAYMENT - for clothing can be made by cash, cheque or EFTPOS (no credit cards). Layby welcome.

 

When in uniform, students are clearly representative of Waimea College. Maintaining the College uniform in good condition and wearing it correctly reflects pride in both yourself and the College. Students should be well groomed and maintain an acceptable standard of personal hygiene.

 

 

Marking of Clothes & Personal Gear


Every item must be clearly named. Every care is taken to minimise the possibility of loss of property and to encourage honesty in pupils, but the College will not be held responsible for losses.
