NSHS School Uniform - Parents

Review of School Uniform - shorts

We are currently reviewing the school uniform and its practicalities. It has come to the attention of the school community that students are purchasing and wearing non uniform shorts. There has been some consultation with the students and there is a desire to change the shorts due to practicalities and comfort of the shorts. In order to ensure we design and allocate the right uniform wear for students, parents and staff we would like feedback from as many members of the school community. With this in mind we would like to ensure the designated shorts are modest, affordable and comfortable.
