Kia ora koutou,
I wanted to share a quick update with you about the new school uniform.
Our uniform supplier has advised us they received a large shipment of stock this week and their retail team is currently working extremely hard to pack those pre-paid orders.
They have also organised daily airfreight to send the remaining stock and say their team is prepared to work on Auckland Anniversary Day to work through prepaid orders.
They are expecting the last of the stock to arrive at the Cambridge store (14 Wilson Street) at the end of the month.
We are in regular contact with the suppliers. At the moment we expect to be on track for the start of school. However, we understand the situation and if there are further delays in delivery then we will be in touch with the community about adjustments to expectations for students.
Please remember to get in touch via the website if you require financial assistance to get into the new uniform items.
A reminder that the following is the outline for the timing of the handover:
2026 - Years 9, 12 and 13
2027 - Years 9, 10, 12 and 13 (Year 11 will be optional)
2028 - Full school in new uniform
We look forward to welcoming you all back to school with a poowhiri for our new Year 9s next Friday. Students should gather at the front of school at 8.50am and parents are also welcome to attend. We welcome back students in Years 12 and 13 on Thursday 29th. The Year 12 assembly is at 9am in the new gym and Year 13 assembly at 9am in the old gym.
