Uniform Fittings

For new students enrolling at Cathedral College Wangaratta, the Uniform Shop allocates a twoweek period towards the end of Term Four for uniform fittings. Parents/guardians of new students will be contacted to make a fitting time that best suits them within this period. Appointments generally take twenty minutes and the uniform is usually paid for and purchased at this time. Other arrangements can be made if needed and can be organised on the day. For fittings throughout the year, pre-booked appointments will be required.
