Uniform & Stationery

Uniform & Stationery can be purchased from The Warehouse, Matamata.
To ensure all students begin on the first day with the appropriate ‘tools of the trade’ we would encourage you to purchase these prior to school starting.

Our formal shirt is royal blue with a collar and our Manawa rere design in black, it is worn with either the black trackpants, skirt or shorts.

Students may wear plain black trackpants as part of the school uniform.
Trackpants must be:
- Plain black
- Free from visible logos, branding or labels
- Styles such as tights, bootleg, flared, wide-leg, cargo or similar pants are not part of the school uniform, even if they are black.

Approved black trackpants are available through The Warehouse school uniform range.

There is also a hoodie, and a jacket for the winter terms, and thermal tops/base layers may be worn underneath but should NOT be visible.

The sport uniform is a royal blue polo with our Manawa rere design in yellow and black light weight shorts.

There is a sunsafe expectation for all students to wear either the bucket hat or cap in Terms 1 & 4.
