Kia ora Sunnyhills Whānau

Following the final consultation on the uniform the Board is pleased to announce that the preferred option is the royal blue polo shirt with navy blue side panels and the current royal blue bomber jacket.

As previously communicated, the full uniform will be phased in during 2024 and 2025 as stock becomes available:

• Royal blue polo shirt replacing the light blue shirts/blouses available from 2025

• Navy skort replacing the tartan skirt available from 2025 (no change to navy shorts or trousers)

• Royal blue bomber jacket (no change other than zip, new stock arriving March 2024)

• Softshell jacket introduced as an optional item (available for purchase now)

• Choice of a bucket or wide brim navy sunhat (available for purchase now)

There will be a three year transition period to phase into the new uniform during which students may wear a mix of the old and new uniform items. All students will be required to wear the new items from 2027.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during this process.

Meri Kirihimete and happy holidays
