Uniforms

Our uniform is compulsory for all students and has been designed to have flexibility. No items are gender specific and all uniform items can be mixed and matched. 


Here are a few examples:


Shoes and outer jackets

Shoes and outer jackets are the student's own choice. Please note that students will need to wear suitable shoes for PE and daily fitness. We recommend parents choose shoes that are both practical, comfortable and closed-toe.


Uniforms can be tried on in the school office. All items (with the exception of sun hats) can be ordered online.


Sunhats 

These must be worn in Term 1 & 4. RPS sun hats can be purchased from the school office.
