Dear Families,

We’re proud to offer our Uniform Swap Shop as a valuable resource for Palm Bay families. This service helps everyone by making good-quality uniform items available to those who need them.

However, we’ve noticed that the swap shop is often left untidy, making it difficult for families to find what they need and increasing the time our staff spend sorting and cleaning up each week.

We kindly ask that you:
Return items neatly to their labelled places
Fold and stack clothes as you find them
Take only what you need, and donate items in good, clean condition
Supervise children using the swap shop
Report any issues to the school office

Let’s work together to keep the swap shop a welcoming and organised space for all.

Treating this resource with respect means we can continue to support every family who needs a helping hand.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
