Second Hand Uniform Shop News

Location
The Second Hand Uniform Shop is conveniently located on the Senior School Campus in the building behind the Winter Garden, accessible through the rear door of the Winter Garden or through the pedestrian gate on Heyington Place between Gates 3 and 4.

Opening Hours
During term time, the Second Hand Uniform Shop is open every Wednesday from 1.00pm to 4.30pm. Extra opening days and times are advertised in The Blue Ribbon and mystcatherines mobile app.

Donations and Consignments
The Second Hand Uniform Shop is always busy and donations of all uniform items are most welcome. If you have any uniforms your children have outgrown, particularly winter uniform items and senior summer dresses, please consider donating or consigning them for resale to the uniform shop.

There is currently a high demand for winter uniform items and we are urgently seeking braided blazers, winter skirts, winter shirts, ties, scarves, pullovers, skivvies and pinafores.

We also gladly accept items such as school bags, sports bags, suncaps, swim caps and school socks. Items considered not fit for sale are also accepted as we recycle zips, buttons, cords and fabric for mending purposes.

A reminder, parents can sell blazers, spray jackets, crested 2XU leggings and inter-school gymnastics ‘display’ leotards on consignment, with 50% of the sale price paid back to parents at the end of each term in the form of direct credit into a nominated bank account. All items submitted for sale on consignment must be clean and in good condition. Please print a Second Hand Consignment Form, complete the details and attach to your items, if you wish to consign them for sale. Donation items included in the same package do not need to be listed.

Donations and consignments can be dropped off at the uniform shop on Wednesdays between 1.00pm and 4.30pm during school term or Senior and Junior School reception, at any time.

The Second Hand Uniform Shop has good stock levels of blazers, pullover vests, rugby tops, house polos, gymnastics leotards (small sizes only), rowing singlets, microfibre PE shorts, athletics tops (small sizes only), bathers and Junior summer dresses (with Peter Pan collar).

The PFA Second Hand Uniform shop supports the St Catherine’s Exchange Student Program by providing uniforms on a loan basis to families hosting a student from overseas. Donations of pre-loved uniforms to the exchange program are always needed. You can donate to the exchange program by completing a Donation Form and denoting ‘Exchange Program’ at the top of the form.
