If for some reason you cannot attend, please sms/ email me with your requirements and I will pass it to the transport coordinator.

The children can come in Islamically appropriate colour clothes until such time that the uniforms are ready. Please ensure that each item of the uniform is labelled with your child/children's name(s)
