We have uniforms for the Geelong area, Surf Coast, Bacchus Marsh, Bannockburn and Werribee / Wyndham We stock items for all schools in the Geelong area, especially St Joseph's College, Kardinia International College, Sacred Heart College, North Geelong Secondary College, Covenant College, Matthew Flinders College, Christian College, Geelong Baptist College, Geelong Lutheran College, Belmont High S

chool etc, as well as for many primary schools. We also stock books and uniforms for Winchelsea, Colac, Bacchus Marsh and the western suburbs of Melbourne. Recycle and save our environment at a fraction of what you would pay for new school stuff. Free parking outside the shop: 4 Beauford Avenue, Bell Post Hill, 3215

We accept Cash, Eftpos, Visa and Mastercard (without surcharge). to sell through our shop;
• After your items are sold, you get 55% of the sale price with payment by bank transfer to your nominated account.
• Sales are collated around every three months; and when payment has been made, you will receive a text message detailing what has been sold.
• Items remain yours until sold and you can collect back your items providing they have not been sold; generally a week's notice is required for us to locate them. However, after you drop things off, we do tag them, sort them, clean them when needed, etc, advertise, and contact potential customers; and so if you want to collect back things within one calendar month from drop-off, there will be a charge of $5 per item.
• Owing to the sheer quantity of some items, mainly particular novels, if you need to collect it/them back, the limit of our liability is to provide you with one in similar or better condition than the one you originally consigned.
• Please notify us of any changes to your contact details.
• Items that are discontinued will generally not be able to be sold and you will be contacted to pick up items within 14 days, or we can dispose of them on your behalf.
• We can deliver orders, depending on where you live. For most deliveries, we either charge a nominal charge, or waive the delivery charge. However, if you cancel the order, or a substantial part of the order (or place a wrong or ambiguous order which necessitates a second delivery), if we have already delivered, we obviously reserve the right to charge a delivery fee of $15 per delivery.
• We will care for your items as if it is our own but no responsibility is taken for goods being stolen as insurance does not cover this cost.

The new St Joseph’s College uniforms

SJC have told me that they are issuing guidelines on Monday regarding the timetable for the introduction of the new uniforms, and the phasing out of some of the current items.

For those who asked me over the last six months, many of the changes were what I had anticipated (a few were a surprise to me!). About four months ago, we did sell two pairs of the new style sports shorts which, I was fairly sure, were prototypes for the new ones. The really good news is that there is a new sports jacket which appears relatively similar to the one phased out a few years ago (and which has become amazingly popular on the secondhand market).

For anybody who wants the new style grey shorts, as with grey trousers, we have probably 800-1,000 of them – lots for every size up to children’s size 26 (less above that size). The material is heavier than that in the current ones, and there are a number of styles, with longer and shorter ones.

The main thing to note is that the sizing is different for PSW and Noone. If getting the new uniforms, please do try them on.

However please do wait until Monday when SJC will provide more details on what your son can wear.
