When students wear their uniform it fosters unity and demonstrates a sense of pride and attachment to the All Saints community.
Our uniform provides equity and allows students to be acknowledged for their individual qualities and personal character, rather than superficial aspects of their appearance.
Students enter All Saints as four or five-year-olds, and plan to graduate as confident, community minded, adults at 18; ready to move into the world of tertiary study or work.
Therefore, the uniform design addresses the students transitioning through their years of schooling that matches both their social and their physical maturation.
As a low fee school, it was important that the uniform was designed with value for money, particularly with regards to the cost of the initial purchase, longevity and ease of care.
Our uniform has been designed to be as inclusive as possible.
Therefore, there is no boys’ and girls’ uniform. Instead, there is a suite of items from which children can choose: skirt, shorts, long pants or dress, short sleeve shirt or long sleeve shirt, cardigan or jumper.
Additionally, there is no summer or winter uniform. Should a student wish to wear shorts all year, they are certainly well able to do so.
The only compulsory items of uniform are our distinctive blazer and the school tie.
Working with Noone’s uniform designers and manufacturers, we have created a uniform with sustainable fabrics that breathe and are easy to clean and materials that are comfortable for our neurodiverse students too.
We are pleased already by how proudly our children are wearing their uniforms each day.
