King’s Birthday Weekend (Monday 5 June) is the official changeover point for students to start wearing their Winter Uniform.
This is also a really good time to check the length of tunics and kilts to ensure that they are the correct length, they should be:
- 30-33cm off the ground with shoes on for the kilt
- and 33 – 36cm off the ground with shoes on for tunics.
- If parents are unable to, or don’t wish to, let hems down themselves then our seamstress, Donna Adams, is always willing to help; she can be contacted on 027 262 2333.

The upcoming June/July holidays (24 June to 16 July) are another really good time to have your daughter’s uniform drycleaned and if needed altered/mended. We are happy to facilitate getting tunics or kilts to Donna if parents are unable to do this – please let us know and we will work with your daughter to ensure this happens.
