Coming Up

Second Hand Uniform Sale

 Also coming back after a three year hiatus – an in-person second hand uniform sale! We are planning on holding the sale on the Senior campus the weekend of 17/18 Sept. Further details will be provided shortly. Meanwhile, donations of current uniforms in good condition will be accepted from Mon 5 Sept to Fri 16 Sept. Please ensure uniforms are clean and stain free. Kindly drop off at the Uniform Shop on a coat hanger (or hang on the ones available).

Our second hand uniform sales provide great value for families and also give each of us an opportunity to contribute to the clear benefits of recycling. In addition, funds raised are contributed towards the means-tested Redlands Foundation Scholarship Fund.
