Simply type ‘botany’ in the school search box and select Botany Downs Secondary College.
2021 will open from 30 November 2020
We encourage you to order early to ensure students have all their stationery requirements ready to go for the start of Term 1. Don’t wait until mid-January when the ‘team of 5 million’ get home from holiday – order now and avoid the back to school rush.
This year OfficeMax have introduced Laybuy, so you can pay in 6 weekly, interest-free instalments – and still get your order right away. Or you can pay by internet banking, credit card or debit card.
When you shop on myschool.co.nz you’ll receive free delivery on orders over $46. You will also help our school earn school rewards that we use to purchase much needed extra resources for our school.
Please note this is NOT applicable to International students. International student stationery is ordered by the college.
Stationery requirements for each year level:
We have a College Uniform Code that is agreed to by parents/guardians and students upon enrolment.
Once a student has agreed to become part of our college, he/she must adhere to the college standards. BDSC is proud of the positive reputation it enjoys in the community and presentation contributes to this;
we are proud that our students present themselves so well.
We appreciate that parents/guardians support the high expectations we have for students who attend with regard to uniform, attendance, learning, and work presentation.
Please refer to Section 24 in the Parent Guardian Handbook to ensure uniforms purchased meet the standards agreed to at enrolment. In particular, the requirements for shoes, dresses, and trousers.
We recommend that all students purchase a college hat to wear outside during PE or for travel to and from college.
Summer code required for Terms 1 and 4.
Winter code required for Terms 2 and 3.
To ensure students start the college year with their full uniform, we would like all students to purchase or lay-by their uniform from December the year previous to student starting, as this enables us to provide sufficient stock in all sizes.
Lay-bys must be collected by January the year student starts.
Payment by cash, Eftpos, credit card and a cheque is available.
The College Donation may be paid with the uniform if desired.
The Uniform Shop will purchase second hand uniform under the following conditions:
• The uniform is in excellent condition
• There have been no alterations made to the uniform
• All items have been washed
• All items must be ironed where possible
Botany Downs Secondary College expects a high standard of dress from their students therefore we are unable to purchase items that do not meet this standard.
