Hey mums!
As a mum who has 10 children, I've been doing the school run for more than 16 years. With all that experience under my belt, I’ve learned a thing or two about getting kids ready for the new school year. Whether your child attends a school with a strict uniform policy or one with a more relaxed dress code, I've got some tips to make sure their wardrobe is prepped and perfect. Let’s dive into the essentials!
For Schools with Uniforms
Uniform Basics First things first, let’s talk about the basics. Your kids will need:
- Polo Shirts/Blouses: Make sure you have plenty of polo shirts or blouses in the school’s approved colours. It’s a good idea to have at least five so you’re not constantly doing laundry mid-week.
- Pants/Shorts/Skirts: Depending on your child’s preference and the school’s dress code, stock up on uniform pants, shorts, or skirts. Double-check the school’s guidelines for acceptable styles and lengths. A few pairs of each should do the trick.

Outerwear
- Sweaters/Cardigans: Keep a couple of sweaters or cardigans handy for cooler days. Stick to the school colours to stay within the dress code.
- Jackets: You’ll need a lightweight jacket for fall and a heavier coat for winter. Make sure they adhere to the school’s uniform policy.

Footwear
- Shoes: Comfortable, school-approved shoes are a must. Look for durable options that can handle the daily wear and tear. Kids can be pretty hard on their shoes!
- Socks/Tights: Stock up on socks and tights in the designated colours. Trust me, you can never have too many.

Accessories
- Belts: If the uniform requires belts, choose sturdy and comfortable ones. Elastic belts can be a good choice for younger kids.
- Hair Accessories: Simple hair accessories in school colours can add a touch of personality without breaking the dress code.

- Sneakers: A good pair of athletic shoes is necessary for gym class. Comfort and support are key.
