downlands UNIFORM SHOP
The College has partnered with The School Locker (TSL) in the running of the Uniform Shop.
Downlands Uniform Shop is located on the Ground floor of Mooney Wing (Years 4-6 Junior School). The uniform shop operates during school term times, with
opening hours from 8am-12noon and 12.30pm - 3:45pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
The School Locker online shop remains open through the holidays which can be accessed via
theschoollocker.com.au.
The School Locker operates a Student Advantage Card program - all parents will be able to register for this program. The Student Advantage Card will enable parents to obtain discounts on various items purchased, while raising funds for the school each time you shop. The card can be activated online at theschoollocker.com.au.
Please note: All online uniform orders placed during the school holiday period will be fulfilled once school resumes.

downlands compulsory school bags
Downlands adopts best practice policies and the latest information about keeping our students safe and healthy. Just as wearing the College broad-brimmed hat is compulsory when our students are outside, the College insists that students have access to school bags that are fit for purpose and are ergonomically safe for students backs and growing bones.
Students broad-brimmed hats have been selected for stiffness and durability. When treated properly, hats are expected to last at least three years. Any hat that is damaged or presented in less than satisfactory condition must be replaced.
Partnering with parents and insisting that students utilise safe and ergonomic equipment helps ensure that our students are safe, healthy, and happy at school.
