School uniforms help promote a positive school tone and a sense of being part of a school community.
The Rainworth uniform has been designed to be practical, economical, comfortable and sun safe. The school has a strict "no hat, no play" policy. Children not wearing a full-brimmed hat will be required to be in an undercover area.
The cooperation of all parents is sought in having students dressed in the correct uniform at school and particularly on excursions. If you do look to purchase alternate items from cheaper local distributors, we ask that you purchase these in our school green.
Parents and carers are urged to ensure all items of school clothing are clearly labelled. This will help facilitate the return of the item and reduce the amount of lost property.
New uniforms can be ordered online via the online shop at Ashgrove West Drapery.The link is at the top right of this page. You can also go to the physical shop
at 467 Waterworks Rd, Ashgrove, Mon-Fri 8.30am-4.00pm and Sat 9am-1pm, where
you can try uniforms on for size, and also pick up ‘click and collect’ orders.
Uniform items for new Prep students will be ready for you to collect at the Prep Induction morning in Term 4.
Preloved uniforms are
available for purchase at our Pre-loved Marketplace Days, which are held on the
second week of each Term. If
specific pre-loved uniforms are needed outside of these times, our volunteers
will be available to liaise directly.
Students starting Prep are required to wear:
- Polo Shirt: red with Prep logo
- Girls: bottle green skort (combination of skirt and shorts), bottle green pleated skirt or bottle green unisex shorts
- Boys: bottle green unisex shorts

The red polo shirt is only worn in Prep, green polo shirt is worn in Years 1-6. All other Prep uniform items are worn throughout Years 1-6.
Hats
One size fits all and are reversible, with one side green for every day and the house colour on the other side – red (Gregory), blue (Fernberg) or yellow (Newstead).
- Your child will be allocated a house in the first few weeks of term. Until then, they should wear any sun safe hat.
- If your child has older siblings at Rainworth, they will be in the same house so you can buy their hat now.
- Please note, there is a 'no hat, no play' rule at Rainworth.
Backpack and Library Bag
These items are also used in Years 1-6. They are optional in Prep but the majority of children are keen to have them. If you choose not to buy them, you will need to provide a backpack and a waterproof library bag for your child.
