Uniform

Our students feel a sense of belonging and community when they wear the Annesley uniform to school each day. School uniforms are credited for bringing a sense of equality and certainty for students in what they wear each day.

Our Annesley Uniform reflects our commitment to provide progressive education at Annesley, we strive to match our practices with the changing world and therefore the Annesley uniform has moved away from more traditional formal clothing items such as blazers, ties and tunics, to be more in step with the contemporary clothing now more commonly worn in our world.

Annesley supplies a modern, practical, playful uniform range that offers choice for our students based on their individual style preference and what they find comfortable. In our uniform, we value that Annesley students can be active inquirers and engage in joyful play in outdoor environments, climbing on our playground, in trees and exploring our creek bed. Uniform is available online via School Stream and purchases will come home with the child within 3 school days.

Members of our student community are working to reduce uniform waste through their second-hand uniform initiative called Unify. Unify was created by two Year 6 students as an action from their inquiry into clothing waste during their final year at Annesley. A sustainable business model was created, which continues to be a valued school community resource. Year 4 students now manage and work in Unify, collecting donations, labelling and displaying the clothes, learning valuable skills of retail at a young age.

With many sales late last term, the Unify Team collect and are seeking further donations of uniforms that are no longer useful to families to restock their store. Uniform donations can be placed in the dedicated basket in the Front Office.

This is reflected in our uniform. An Advertiser article recently compared the cost of school uniforms across a number of schools. This information revealed that the cost of a typical Annesley full uniform is around one third to half of the cost of school uniforms at several Adelaide schools.

We do not make a child feel uncomfortable for wearing incorrect uniform. We understand that some non-Annesley uniform items have been worn to supplement student’s uniforms during the period of supply shortages from our uniform providers this year. As Annesley uniform items and sizes return to stock, we appreciate the support of parents to ensure that students are dressed in the correct Annesley uniform each day.
