As your child grows out of his/her uniform, if your child’s uniform clothes are in good condition we would like to ask you to please donate them to the front office.
If your family is in need of uniform items please contact our office to see how we can best support your child.
Let us thank you for your ongoing support and being a part of the Ethos community.
