Clontuskert Parents Association Uniform Swap โ™ป๏ธ๐Ÿ‘•๐Ÿ‘–

Clontuskert Parents Association is delighted to introduce a School Uniform Swap, a simple and sustainable way to help families prepare for the new school year while reducing waste and giving pre-loved uniforms a second life.

๐ŸŒฑ How It Works

Step 1: Donate If you have any school uniform items that are no longer needed, we would love to receive them. The uniforms must be in good, reusable condition.

This includes:

โœ… School jumpers
โœ… School tracksuits (crested and non-crested)
โœ… Polo shirts
โœ… Trousers, skirts, shorts, etc.

Please note that this is a donation-based initiative. Donated items will not be paid for and will be made available to other families within our school community.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Uniform Collection

Uniforms can be dropped to the school office on:

๐Ÿ—“ Monday 10th, Tuesday 12th & Wednesday 13th August
โฐ 10.00am – 2.00pm

๐Ÿ‘• Uniform Swap Evening

Families are invited to come along and browse the donated uniforms and take any items they may find useful.

๐Ÿ—“ Tuesday 18th August
โฐ 6.30pm – 7.30pm
๐Ÿ“ School Hall

๐Ÿ’› Donations

A voluntary donation box will be available on the evening for anyone who wishes to contribute. Donations are entirely optional and any funds collected will go towards school fundraising.

โ™ป๏ธ What Happens to Leftover Uniforms?

Any remaining uniforms in good condition will be:

Kept by the school as spare uniforms for pupils who may need them during the year, or
Used in future Uniform Swap events.
We hope this will be a positive way to support families, promote sustainability, and make the most of uniforms that still have plenty of wear left in them.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Kind regards,

Clontuskert Parents Association ๐Ÿ€
