Uniform shop
Our school uniform shop is run by volunteers from our parent body (ESPA). It is located in C block next to the Greek classrooms which are facing Homer Street. All proceeds from the uniform sales go back to the school for the purchase of resources and learning materials for our students.
Our wonderful volunteering parents open the shop on Tuesday mornings for face to face sales between 8:30-9:30am.
