Second Hand Uniform Sales
The Second Hand Uniform Sales are a great way to make the most of what the world has already produced, help your wallet and do an extra little bit for sustainability as well.
We need your donations of clean current uniforms. (There is particularly strong demand for tracksuits! Please note NO polo shirts, due to the new uniform designs being implemented.) Please ensure all donations are washed and free of stains and holes. This past term, we had 8 garbage bags of unsaleable donations, which is why we ask you to please put them on a coat hanger (or use the ones provided by the Uniform Shop), so you can ensure they are of good quality.
Please deliver your donations to the Uniform Shop during their operating hours during weeks 2 and 3 of Term 3, from Monday 19 July to Friday 30 July. The email to announce the sale will be sent out on Monday 9 August and collections will be the week of 16 August.
As always, funds raised are contributed towards the means-tested Redlands Foundation Scholarship Fund, this year in honour of Belinda Oxley.
