UNIFORM SHOP
The Uniform Shop is provided by the P&C Association to offer affordable uniforms to Gordon West Public School families. A range of new and second hand uniforms and accessories are available. The Uniform Shop is not run for profit, so prices are set only a fraction above wholesale cost, with the margin earned purely to cover the cost of running the shop.
The Uniform Shop is run by the Uniform Shop Manager together with the invaluable help of volunteer shop assistants. The shop is located in a small building adjacent to the Computer Block, near the teacher’s carpark.
OPENING TIMES
The Uniform Shop is open every Friday during term time from 8.30am to 9.30am.
Online ordering through www.flexischools.com.au, is available 24/7 with all orders placed before 4.50pm on Thursday sent home with your child on the Friday following your order.
SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY
It is school policy that all students wear school uniform. Wearing the uniform helps our children develop a sense of belonging as well as pride in their school.
As part of the uniform policy no jewellery is to be worn to school, with the exception of wrist watches and sleepers or studs in pierced ears. We thank all parents for their support in this matter.

Mostly volunteers are needed on Friday mornings between 8.30am and 9.30am to assist parents with selecting the uniform items that they need. We use an online service called SignUp to manage volunteers.
