Key Information

School uniform and presentation

At Rangitīkei College, we value the role of a school uniform in encouraging a sense of belonging and school pride.  

Our uniform is:

1. Compulsory for all students.
2. The same for all year levels is gender neutral and for all seasons.
3. Flexible, practical and affordable.

We expect students to take pride in the presentation of their uniform and to wear it as required.  It should be kept clean and tidy.  Correct uniform is expected when travelling between home and school, while at school, and when representing the College at events away from school.

In cases of genuine need, the school can provide some uniform items for students.

Specific college uniform items are available from The Warehouse in Feilding or online at www.thewarehouse.co.nz by typing Rangitīkei College into the search function.  Some new and second hand stock is also available for purchase from the school office during the year.
