Hi,

Can any of you advise the types of school wear that are NOT necessary to purchase.

Thanks

The school should send you a list describing what is necessary & where to buy the uniform. Most also have the information posted on their school website.

Just buy the basic requirements (shirts, shorts/trousers or skirt/skort and PE kit. Hats are a definite requirement as most schools have a "no hat, no play" policy) and add the other items as needed.
If you start buying the more "winter' items now then your child will probably outgrow them by December. The in house uniform stores are open on most days so you can always buy as needed rather than making the whole expenditure in one go.
For example: my child never wore tracksuit top or bottoms as she would wear her fleece jacket on PE days and never wanted to wear track pants.

Thanks notmyaisle and that was what I was asking for.

Did you buy the raincoat or windbreaker? I am 100% sure that my daughter will not freeze or get wet along the way to kindergarten. I am just not sure whether this is necessary when she goes for any potential school outings?

Can you advise?

Thanks
