Uniforms
Please see below for a list of uniform requirements for summer and winter as well as where to purchase. We also have a second-hand sustainable shop with all items priced at $5.00. Ask the school office for more information.
All brand new items can be bought online from Cowan and Lewis. All items will be delivered to the school office and sent home with your child. Please got to: Cowan and Lewis website to see the selection and make your order.
Uniform Change – 2022
After many months of consultation, we are finally able to announce the rollover to Cowan and Lewis as our new uniform supplier.
Roll Out
This will be a very slow process. All current students can wear the current uniform for as long as they desire, or until appropriate sizes run out. Therefore, hand me downs, secondhand stock and stock bought back from suppliers can be accessed and worn, until sizes run out. SJB Uniform Requirements (pre changeover)
All Kindergarten students (2023) and new enrolments from 2023 will be required to purchase and wear the updated St John the Baptist uniform.
