The St Dominic’s School uniform continues to be available via JFE’s shopfront located at Unit 1, 85 Guthrie Street, Osbourne Park, or online via their website.  Please note that JFE will be closed for the Easter break from 1:00pm on Thursday 6th April through until Tuesday 11th April.

In preparation for next term, below is a link to the schools ‘Uniform Requirements’ document and a few uniform points to remember when preparing for the new term.

  • The specific sports days for each class will be shared with families prior to the school term commencing.  It is expected that students will wear the correct uniform on the appropriate days.
  • If for any reason a student is unable to wear the correct uniform on the appropriate day or needs to wear an item that is not in line with the schools uniform requirements document, parents/ guardians are asked to inform their child’s classroom teacher.
  • When getting back to school hair cuts, the uniform requirements document states that alternative haircuts, colours and fashion trends are not permitted.  Mullets, shaved lines and patterns are not considered appropriate and should not be requested.
  • If purchasing black ‘school’ shoes over the holidays, these should not be black runners, instead these shoes need to be of a leather style black ‘school’ shoe.
  • Please take note of the correct sock requirements for each specific uniform.  Alternative socks should not be worn and the correct style of sock should be worn with the correct uniform.
  • The sports jacket should not be worn instead of the school jumper on formal uniform days.

Do take the time to read the document linked below, as it outlines all the specific and compulsory requirements of our school uniform.  We thank and appreciate you helping to ensure our students understand the importance of wearing the school uniform with pride.
