Three St Andrew's College Middle School students

Uniform

Kākahu ōrite

At St Andrew’s College we expect all our students to maintain a high standard of dress and grooming when at school, travelling to and from school, and when representing the College. St Andrew’s College uniform is available exclusively from the College Shop, Thistles, and from our Second-hand Uniform Shop run by the PTA, both located on campus.

College Uniform Shop, Thistles

The College Shop, Thistles, located on campus adjacent to the Senior School/Normans Road carpark, supplies all items of College and sports uniforms (except shoes) at all levels; all stationery required for study; and a wide range of general supplies and services including dry cleaning, toiletries for boarding students, bags, and St Andrew’s branded merchandise. Open on weekdays during term time with specific hours, the shop also offers uniform fitting bookings for new students.

Second-hand Uniform Shop

The Second-hand Uniform Shop is run and managed entirely by the St Andrew’s College PTA and staffed by volunteers. Profits from the Second-hand Uniform Shop are all donated back to the College and disbursed through the fundraising process. The Second-hand Uniform Shop is located on campus and is a great place to purchase second-hand uniform items at discounted prices.
