Skirts and necklaces for the girls and red sashes for the boys will be sent home on  Tuesday . Please make sure your child in dressed in their costume when they arrive at school that evening. Skirts are not to be altered in any way, as they are borrowed. If the skirt is too long for your child ( some of them are), please just roll it up at the waist to  ankle length. There is a white sash provided for each girl to cover up the rolled waist, to be tied in a bow at the back. The red sashes for the boys are to be tied in a knot at the right side.
