Important notice regarding new school uniform kilt purchases for 2012:
There will be a delay in the arrival of a number of kilts which were ordered for the start of the 2012 school year. This delay has been caused by difficulties of supply of the fabric from the Australian mills. The timeframe for the fabric to arrive in New Zealand is currently the end of February, 2012. If your daughter is affected by this delay, then until her kilt arrives we would ask that she wear the uniform items she has with either her track pants or a suitable skirt.
