Kākahu Kura | Uniform
Students are expected to wear their uniforms with respect for themselves and pride in their school.
Uniform is compulsory in Years 9 to 12. Although Year 13 students are allowed to wear mufti, and periodically the whole College has a mufti day, what is worn must be appropriate. Copies of the Mufti Dress Code are available from the College Office and are on display in classrooms.
There is no winter or summer uniform. The uniform items for boys and girls listed here can be worn in combinations appropriate for the weather.
All items of uniform are available through the Manawatū College Uniform Shop (with minimal mark-up) , which is accessible between 8.30am and 2.00pm each school day. For an appointment to purchase a complete uniform please phone Ms Kerry McGhie ph 363 6550 (school hours). Please allow up to 30 minutes to outfit a student.
A minimum deposit of $200 is required before uniform can be collected.
