Uniform Requirements and Information
The Carinya Christian School Uniform combines simplicity and dignity with affordability and ease of supply. Wearing the uniform with dignity and integrity at school and in public is an important expression of a family’s commitment to the school and encourages a sense of community and belonging for students.
The Uniform Shop (either in person and Online) is an efficient and cost effective method for parents to maintain their children in school uniform. Carinya Tamworth’s Uniform Shop is located with the school's Performing Arts Centre. Carinya Gunnedah’s Uniform Shop is located within the new Administration Building.
The Carinya Uniform Shop is the sole supplier of the Carinya school uniform and all items of uniform must be purchased from the shop. No other brands or styles are permissible without written permission from the school. Any variation in uniform items from those provided by the School Uniform Shop will mean that the item will have to be replaced.
The school is committed to maintaining the agreement made with parents at enrolment, that the correct uniform will be worn and be worn correctly. Parents can be of great assistance to their children and to staff by fully supporting the correct Uniform Requirements. This is especially true in regard to the personal grooming requirements and the “door to door" policy.
Carinya has a “door to door” uniform policy meaning students are expected to wear their school uniform to and from school in the appropriate manner.

Carinya Uniforms can now also be purchased via the Online store. Whilst uniform items are available to purchase online we strongly recommend that parents book an appointment for their child to be fitted for new uniform items or if students are changing their uniform as they progress through the school. Blazers for Years 11 and 12 students are fitted in the Uniform Shop by the Uniform Shop Manager. Unfortunately we are unable to offer a postage option for Online purchases. Orders placed online can either be collected from the Administration office or delivered directly to your child's classroom. This is nominated at the time of purchasing online.
-
Second hand items are available for sale from the Uniform Shops at a fixed price depending upon availability. Donations of used uniform items can be dropped into the Uniform Shop or the school office at any time. The Uniform Shop does not sell items on behalf of parents. Second hand items cannot be purchased via the Online Store.
Refer to the Second Hand Items Policy for full details including second hand Senior School Blazers - Second Hand Items Policy

Carinya’s uniform is custom made. Although we try to mimic regular sizing in our garments, every brand is different. It is essential to have a uniform fitting for students who are new to the school or when changing stages (eg: moving from Junior School to Middle School).
We offer 15 minute appointments during term and non term time. There are limited appointments available after school, so we suggest you book in early if this is your preferred time. If you have multiple children requiring uniforms, please book multiple appointments. A complete uniform fitting for a new student takes 30 minutes per child. Please ensure an adequate length of time is booked. When booking appointments online, you will receive an email confirming your booking.
There is a link at the bottom of the appointment confirmation email that will allow you to reschedule or cancel your booking if needed. Rescheduling a booking will move all of your information to the new time and date of your choice.
-
Most items of our uniform can be custom made for an additional cost, which will be passed onto families. Garments may take up to 12 weeks to make.
Please contact the Uniform Shop Manager to discuss or book a fitting appointment.
-
Student growth is taken into consideration at the time of your child’s fitting, and we recommend you to leave the tags attached to clothing until you are 100% happy with the sizing, especially if purchasing during a growth phase. Uniforms can only be exchanged or returned if the tags are attached and the garments are in their original packaging.
All returns and / or exchanges are at the discretion of the Uniform Shop Manager. Garments cannot be accepted for exchange or return unless they are unworn, in original packaging and have tags attached. Generally, returns are not refunded in cash. Where families are continuing at the school and garments are accepted for return, the value of the return will be credited to the family uniform account to be used for the purchase of future uniform items.
-
The Carinya Uniform shop does not operate for profit. Uniforms are sold at a price which seeks to cover the cost of supply and the operation of the shop.
Whilst Carinya endeavours to maintain the cost of uniform to a minimum, prices remain subject to change in response to supplier price changes.
