New TAS Sports Uniform

[Click Here to view images of the new TAS Sports uniform]

Throughout the second half of last year, a committee made up of Sports staff, Executive members and P & F Representatives have been working toward the introduction of new Sports and PE uniforms. We are not very far away from releasing details of a new Sports uniform, to be available early in Term 2, for Trimester 2 of interschool sport. A new PE uniform will not be ready until 2013.

It is important for parents to understand the difference between Sports and PE (Physical Education) uniforms. Current practice is that students can and do, in many cases, use garments that they wear to PE classes as Sports uniform for Saturday morning sport. The introduction of the new Sports uniform will see a gradual separation between the PE uniform and the Sports uniform. The new Sports uniform will not be able to be worn to PE lessons, but the current PE uniform may be worn to Saturday morning sport (where currently relevant) for two more years. After that time period has passed, both uniforms will be exclusive to their respective activities.

In considering what was needed in a new Sports uniform, the committee used the following criteria gleaned from a variety of feedback from staff, parents and students over several years:

• Use of the Redeemer colours, logo and crest needed to be true to our history, therefore none of these elements would be transplanted by something new.
• The Sports uniform needed to be designed in such a manner so as to be able to be worn for a number of sports across the year [generic] (not a separate uniform for each sport) and still be ‘smart & distinctive.’ The Sports uniform also needed to provide the option of ‘player numbering’ for TAS purposes.
• The Firsts uniforms needed to be distinctive from the generic uniforms as well as complying with TAS numbering requirements, and either they needed to be ‘rental garments’ or sponsor subsidised to the school / student.
• The uniforms needed to provide both a male and female cut for relevant garments and the supplier had to be able to provide one-off specials for unique student needs.
• The uniforms needed to be of good value relative to quality and other similar priced garments available on the wider market, as well as being durable.
• The College desired that staff / coaches also have a uniform.

I believe the committee has achieved the goals outlined above and we look forward to the next step of planning a PE uniform that is distinct from the generic Sports uniform.

The end of term Principal’s letter will include further details about the Sports uniform change.

In closing, I remind parents that the College policy on uniform change is that new, compulsory garments are phased in over a two year period. This means that you may choose to purchase the new uniform items when they become available, or you may plan a replacement strategy over the next two years.
