UNIFORM
What uniform should my child wear?
Generally, the summer uniform is worn in terms 1 and 4 and the winter uniform in terms 2 and 3. However, in recognising the changeable weather conditions, either uniform may be worn at any time during the year, as long as it is worn correctly.
Kindergarten children wear the Sports Uniform each day.
Prep to Grade 2 children wear the Sports Uniform each day.
Grade 3 to 6 children wear both the Sports Uniform and the Formal Uniform. Children may wear their Sports Uniform on a maximum of three days a week. Class teachers will advise at the beginning of the year which uniform is required on which day. Children are expected to follow the uniform guidelines. Parents are to send their child’s class teacher a note or email if they are not in the correct uniform for any reason.
How to order your child's school uniform
Our uniform is available from the Midfords Online Shop.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
There may be some families who don’t enrol their children in Catholic schools because of concerns about the level of fees and levies charged.
Catholic schools are accessible to all families willing to support the Catholic ethos regardless of their personal, financial and pastoral circumstances. No child will be denied a place in a Catholic school because of financial hardship.
Families who are interested in Catholic education, and feel they could benefit from financial support, are encouraged to contact the School. All enquiries are managed sensitively and adhere to the privacy legislation.
CONTINUING YOUR CHILD'S CATHOLIC EDUCATION
The majority of our students continue their education at one of the Catholic colleges located in and around Hobart. St Therese’s is a feeder school for these Colleges and families interested in continuing within the Catholic education system of schools and colleges can find their local Catholic colleges on the Tasmanian Catholic Education Office website.
