School uniform seem to lag behind the latest trendy fashions. Some styles seem to be perteuayed in school uniforms long after they have passed out of style in regular clothing. School uniforms, however, do change over time and generally follow overall styles, even if there is often a lag time. Mony New Zealand parents do want uniforms. Opinions on the stuyles, however, varies some what. The general shift in New Zealand seems to be toward a comfortable casual style, but appearance is also an important factor.
A new school uniform was introduced last year and although there were initial problems with supply and quantity these problems have now been resolved and we thank parents for their support and patience during the changeover. Both students and parents have commented favourably on the comfortable style and good looks of the uniform.
