Stationery and Uniform

Uniform

Our uniform is only sold through the BDSC Uniform Shop located to the right as you face our Reception block.

Regulations

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, skirts, and trousers.

We recommend that all students purchase a college hat to wear outside during PE or for travel to and from college.

Purchasing

Uniform items are available from the BDSC Uniform Shop.

Once again we will be using a booking system to fit uniform for the upcoming 2023 school year.

The booking system will be open to book appointments from Monday 28 November 2022 from 9am and will close on Tuesday 31 January 2023 at 4pm. If you have not received a booking code, please email the Uniform Shop l.tehira@bdsc.school.nz.

Families with siblings or with multiple students requiring a uniform need to book one student per fitting. Please note that there are separate fitting rooms for boys’ and girls’ uniform items. The girls’ room and the boys’ room each have four fitting spaces. If the first room is unavailable at the time you require, you may wish to go back and select a different fitting room number to check availability.

Once you have submitted your booking, an email confirmation will be sent to you. Please bring this confirmation with you when you attend your scheduled booking time.

In addition to the standard uniform, optional female trousers are available for all girls in Years 11-13.

*If you already know your sizes & do not wish to be fitted for uniform, you don’t need to make a booking, you may come to purchase what you require at any stage during the uniform shop opening hours. 

Payment Options

Payment by cash, Eftpos and credit card is available.

The College Donation may be paid with the uniform if desired.

Selling

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.

In particular, view section 24 – Uniform and Presentation Standards.
