Uniform and Uniform Shop:

• At Bracken Ridge High, we do not debate the pros and cons of uniform or behaviour – when you join our community you agree to our high standards in both these areas. This affords all community members the opportunity to focus our energies on learning and ensure that the first conversation a child has each morning is about their learning and wellbeing.  We must ensure we keep this as a priority, and we need parents to work with us on these matters. 
• Please refer to our School Uniform Guidelines and ensure that  any uniform purchases are made in accordance with these guidelines. 
• Our school office and the Uniform Shop will open on Monday 18 January.  If you are planning to attend school to visit either the Uniform Shop or school office, all persons over the age of 12 will need to wear masks at all times, maintain social distancing and not congregate in large groups.  This is a mild inconvenience that will ensure that everyone remains safe.  For a full list of opening hours, please click here.
