Uniform Handbook and Price List

The 2024 Uniform Handbook and Price List is available here

All students from Kindergarten to Year 12 must wear The Friends’ School uniform as prescribed in the handbook for the relevant section of the school.  School Shop staff are able to assist you with the fitting and purchasing of uniform requirements during the back to school period and throughout the year.

The Friends’ School Shop is the only authorised retailer of The Friends’ School uniform.  The full range of uniform requirements, excluding shoes, are available at the Shop.

 

An important note about changes to the formal school uniform

Please note that the phase out of white shirts concludes at the end of 2022. From the first day of the 2023 school year, only blue formal shirts can be worn. We continue to  maintain the same cuts and sizes as previously available but all formal shirts are now made from the same blue fabric which is unique to The Friends’ School. Students in Years 7-12 will require a tie to be worn with the blue shirt on formal occasions.

Backpacks - Caring for your back

The Friends’ School bags are designed and manufactured with back care in mind.
To cater to the wide needs of students in Kindergarten to Year 12, our backpacks are available in a number of sizes and in a style appropriate to the year level.

Students in Kindergarten to Year 4 use the Unopak. These backpacks are durable with a padded back panel, adjustable straps (including a waist strap) and a mesh side drink bottle pocket. Students in Year 5 to 12 have the Chiropak II which is available in four sizes. The Chiropak II is endorsed by the Chiropractors Association of Australia and has many features which include a removable moulded spinal board to allow for a custom fit.

For the best possible fit, we recommend that students accompany their families when shopping for a backpack so that Shop staff can assist you in selecting the most appropriate bag for the students’ age and size.
