Parents would all agree that a well-designed school uniform can have a high visual impact as well as make very positive statement about our school’s values. A uniform also creates a sense of unity among the students.
We encourage our students to take pride in their appearance and to dress in the correct uniform always.
St Columba’s school uniforms are purchased through our supplier, BME based at Broadmeadow. There will also be occasions when parents will be prompted and offered orders prior to the changeover of winter and summer uniforms. The garments are of high quality and are supplied at a reasonable cost. We need your support in maintaining the school’s excellent standard of uniform by purchasing all uniform items through this supplier.

General Points about School Uniform:

• Uniforms are ordered online directly through our suppliers. We are currently transitioning from BME to Yeronga.

  • BME - 1st option
