'Dear Parents,
We endeavour to have sufficient stock all year round and especially for the back to school period. However occasionally there are times when we run out of certain sizes, this is why we say please do not leave it until last minute for us to kit your child out. August as you can imagine is a very busy month for all in the trade, the wait times during this month can sometimes be up to 45 minutes so if you could come earlier not only will you be guaranteed getting your sizes but you will also avoid a stressful queue.
There is potential for your child to grow during the summer holiday, so what happens if you buy the uniform early I hear you say. Our advice is simple, buy early, keep your receipt and tags on the items bought, try it on again roughly a week or two before the new term starts, if you feel they have grown out of any of the sizes you have purchased you are then more than welcome to come back and swap it for a bigger size.
Furthermore, if you are new to the school and the uniform we advise not to order online, there is great potential for returns due to the wrong sizes being ordered. Please come and see us first to familiarise yourself with how the sizing works.
We hope this advice has helped.
All the best
Team OZ SchoolWear'
