What is the Second Hand Uniform Sale?

The Second Hand Uniform Sale provides a service to parents whereby you are able to sell unwanted/outgrown items of school uniform or equipment and purchase good quality second hand pieces.  Once a sale has been made the Parents' Association (PA) takes 40% of the sale value and the balance is returned to you. (Unless you wish for all proceeds to be donated to PA Funds!)
