P&F News

In 2023, groups of our Berkeley West Public School students worked with Daren Dunn (Uncle Daren) to design a new Indigenous polo shirt (pictured above) for our school. It has been discussed at P&F meetings that this shirt may possibly be an option as a new Friday sports shirt for all grades K-6.

Our P&F would like to slowly phase out the blue school polo shirts (parents tell us they get dirty and easily stained) and make the current maroon and white sports polo shirt our Mon-Thurs uniform. This is not mandatory. If parents didn't wish to purchase the new sports shirt shown above, students would be able to wear the maroon and white instead.

Don't worry! If we do go ahead, and you've just bought a new blue shirt, your child would be able to wear their blue polos until they are ready to get their next shirt!

Shirts are expected to be sold for $30. A sample shirt is displayed in the front office if you'd like to come in and have a look.

As the P&F are experiencing supply issues with winter tunics for girls, this year we are repeating what we did last year for photo day coming up on Monday 3 June.

This is what students need to wear on photo day-

Kindergarten to Year 2 students– All boys and girls are to wear their full winter school uniform. i.e. Boys– blue polo shirt and long grey pants, black shoes. Girls– Winter tunic, white long sleeve shirt, maroon tights/stockings, white socks and black shoes. As we are experiencing tunic supply issues, If any girls in Kinder, Year 1 or Year 2 do not have a tunic, they should wear a blue polo shirt and grey skorts.

Students in Years 3-6– All boys and girls should wear their full Friday sports uniform. i.e. Maroon and white sports shirt, maroon shorts/ skorts/ skirt.-(Grey shorts/skorts/skirts can be worn only if your child deosn't have maroon).

The school winter jacket can be worn on the day by all students but is not mandatory  for the photo.
