If a student needs to be out of uniform for any reason during a school day, parent must submit a Uniform Pass Request by 7.00 am on the day of the request. Parents can submit the request by logging in to Parent Lounge (via the Kennedy app) and selecting ‘uniform pass request’. If a Uniform Pass Request is not submitted and approved by the College, a demerit will be issued. In this case, an unapproved Uniform Pass will be issued for the day to prevent further demerits.

Parents can order uniform online through their QuickCliQ account.  This enables families to purchase uniforms online, ready to collect from the Uniform Shop (during open hours).

Please note that:
Sizing in uniform shops often does not follow standard sizing, so it is always best for students to try on garments before purchasing. This is especially important for new students as it ensures you get the right size first time. New students are advised to book a uniform fitting.

The College is conscious of the need to provide an efficient process for families to recycle their textbooks and other student resources. The College has been delighted with the outcomes of using the Sustainable School Shop for second-hand textbook trading, and we are continuing to promote and use this helpful service.

The service provides access to second-hand textbooks, calculators, stationery, musical equipment, etc. all year round.

The Uniform Shop can accept donations of clean, in good repair uniform items for their second-hand sales. We encourage parents to utilise the Sustainable School Shop or Kennedy P&F Facebook group for selling of items.

Students starting at the beginning of the following school year will be invited to a fitting appointment via an email sent in Term 3. We encourage you to make an appointment with the Uniform Shop Manager for a fitting. This will ensure your child has the correct sizes for purchasing items through the Uniform Shop or via second-hand avenues.

Two weeks before school starts, it’s a good idea to try on your uniform items again. Make sure to keep the tags on at this stage. Check for a comfortable fit that allows you to sit and move easily. Also, ensure the lengths are correct since you may have grown since purchasing the uniform.

If the fit is comfortable, cut the tags off, wash and write your name neatly on the inside of the garment. Adjustments can now be made.

If the item doesn’t fit comfortably or is too tight/short, you can exchange it at the Uniform Shop. The item must be in its original unworn condition with the attached swing tags.

Care for your uniform

It’s important to be familiar with the care instructions for your garments. Consider using laundry wash bags to protect them from zips and buttons.
