What's On - 26 August 2020

Alinta Apparel is one of Australia’s largest school and sportswear uniform retailers, managing more than 50 uniform shops throughout Australia and New Zealand. They have an excellent reputation for quality merchandise, reasonable pricing and customer service. Most importantly, they provide a product that is ethically sourced. 

Shop Location, Hours and Purchasing Online

Alinta will take over management from Monday 12 October 2020. There will be no change to the opening hours and the Uniform Shop will remain in its current onsite location at the College.

The current staff have been taken into consideration with the change of management and employment has been offered and accepted. The College would like to thank the many wonderful staff and volunteers who have helped with the Uniform Shop over the years, in particular Gabriella Gibb and Rose Hunt. 

Alinta will also be providing an online shopping option for home delivery or collection at the school. Further information on how to purchase online will be made available on the College website prior to the commencement of Term Four.

Second Hand Uniforms

From 1 September 2020 until the end of the year, the Uniform Shop is unable to accept donations or second hand uniforms for sale during this period. Second hand uniforms will be accepted for sale on consignment only from the beginning of the 2021 school year.

Back to School Fittings – new school year

During Term Four, the Uniform Shop will open extended hours for fitting appointments. New and existing students will be able to purchase or lay-by uniforms for the new school year during this time.

Further information on how to make an appointment will be available on the College website prior to the commencement of Term Four.

Pricelist

There will be no change to the uniform prices this year. 

We are looking forward to working with Alinta Apparel and welcoming their team to the Marist College Canberra community from the start of Term Four.

Photograph envelopes were distributed to all students on Monday 17 August 2020. Sibling photograph envelopes can be collected from the Front office of our Senior and Junior schools.

Our preference is for ordering and payment to be completed online to reduce administration and potential security issues with handling of cash. If cash is your preferred payment method, please include cash in the envelope and have your son hand it to the photographer on the photo day (Friday 11 September). Please do not return the envelope with money before the photo day.

Portrait and group package orders are due by Friday 11 September. 

Should you wish to purchase a sibling photograph online, the order must be placed no later than tomorrow, Thursday 10 September. 

An email was sent to all families on 21 August 2020 providing details for ordering and payment. 

Sibling photographs will only be taken if an order has been placed.

Any queries concerning school photographs or online ordering should be directed via email to enquiries@advancedlife.com.au or alternatively, you can contact Gail Anderson.
