*We want students to be safe when taking part in dance and therefore insist that students are barefoot (socks are a slip hazard) or have black ballet or split sole jazz shoes. Examples can be found in these links: 
Dance Direct - Ballet
Dance Direct Jazz  

There are times through the year when students take part in activities such as football, rugby and hockey and for safety reasons need to wear additional items. We have a small supply of items to lend; these are available on a first come first served basis. 

  • Shin pads 
  • Football boots 
  • Gum shield (for contact sports – available to purchase directly from the PE office
