UNIFORM INFORMATION

UNIFORM CODE: Please read the uniform code at the beginning of Girls’ or Boys’ Uniform sections below.
Please note carefully that with the exception of shoes, all items of uniform should be purchased from the school uniform shop only. Do not be misled into purchasing trousers which are not school uniform style, colour or fabric. Garments must not be homemade or made by any firm other than the Pakuranga College uniform suppliers.
Should incorrect items of uniform be worn, Deans will remove these and return them at the end of the week. If incorrect uniform items are not removable and no note is received, parents will be contacted. Students will be expected to be in correct uniform on the following day.
GIRLS’ UNIFORM CODE
