Be SunSmart:
Term 4 marks the start of the warmer weather; this is a timely reminder to Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap!
Too hot for shoes and socks? Sandals must be flat, plain black, with a black sole and a backstrap. (Socks are not to be worn with sandals).
Prefer to wear shoes and socks? School shoes must be flat, plain black, with black soles and black laces. (No boots or high-top footwear). Socks must be plain black (no logo) and ankle length.
Need fresh uniform?
- Uniform items are to be purchased from Argyle, our official uniform supplier - either online or in store. These items must be worn as purchased without significant alteration or adaptation.

The NZ Cancer Society recommends we:
- Slop on some broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen of at least SPF30. Apply at least 20mins before going outdoors so it can be absorbed into the skin. Cover all exposed skin - remember ears, feet, backs of knees and hands. Sunscreen should be stored in a cool, dark place.
- Slap on a hat. A hat is a very important part of sunscreen protection. Hats should shade the face; bucket hats with a deep crown and broad brim are ideal as part of the GBHS uniform.
