Balfour School can wear mufti to school; we do not have a school uniform. However, students need to have footwear suitable for physical activity. If gumboots are worn, please remember to bring other footwear suitable for sports.
Your child will be issued with a sports top, shorts and/or tracksuit for various school sports or cultural events. Eg, Waimea Athletics, Agrikids, Kapahaka.
Your child is asked to wear the sports top and shorts/tracksuit to the event and change out of it as soon as possible after the event.
The sports uniform is to be brought back to school the following school day UNWASHED please. (We have groups of parents who wash our uniforms for us)
The sports uniforms remain the property of Balfour School.
Failure to return or damaging the sports uniforms will result in you being invoiced for the replacement cost.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the School Office.
Thank you for your support in helping to maintain our sports uniforms.
Safety Vests
High Visibility Safety Vests are given to each student when they enrol.
Your child is asked to wear the vest to and from school each day.
Please take care to keep the vest in good condition as the vest remains the property of Balfour School.
The vest must be returned to Balfour School at the end of the school year or if your child changes schools.
Failing to return the vest will result in you being invoiced for the replacement cost.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
