Just remember to name everything well. I had the iron on ones and put one at the back and one on the side. It was amazing how the back one was removed but the side one stayed as it wasn't seen.
If you wash every day you don't need alot of clothing and I found it cheaper to get a start up set then buy through the year. Also look in op shops as you will be amazed at what you find especially after the year has started. With the dresses I used to wash at night, give the dress a good shake, hang on a hanger and it was usually dry the next morning.
If possible buy trackpants with reenforced knees as they last longer.
If you have girls and they want to wear dresses buy short leggings or shorts for under them. This is an idea I was given for the play ground/equipment.
2 x Polo Shirts
1 x Sports Shorts
1 x Dress shirt
1 x Dress shorts
1 x Hat
1 x school bag
1 x excusrion bag
All of the items are compulsory. DS is going to a brand new public school that runs like a private school. We're very lucky to have the principal that is there and he is strict with uniform and behaviour policies which I feel is important from the start.
MG, our orientation is tomorrow night, but DS is at his dad's so even if the opportunity to try on is there, I won't have him anyway. I just ordered him size 6's (uniform sizing is notoriously huge) and hoping for the best. The orders don't come back till January so they can try them on then and swap sizes if need be which is handy. I'm excited to get the book list and hear of all the other information regarding routines, curriculum and homework etc!
I'll get another dress shirt and a tracksuit further on in the year, but that's a good base line I think. Plus I don't mind washing every day/second day, we already have to with DSD's uniforms.
