Uniform Shop
Connecting with the community through the Uniform Shop
The Trinity Second Hand Uniform Shop is often one of the first places families visit when they begin their journey at TGS. And, as shirts are inevitably outgrown and blazers become a little snug, it is the place to go to pick up great quality pieces in the years ahead.
The Trinity Second Hand Uniform Shop sells a wide selection of high quality pre-loved Trinity uniform items from the Early Learning Centre to the Senior School, including Trinity blazers sold on consignment.
The current Convenors are Trinity parents, Annette and Yasmin. Together, they sort donations, support a roster of volunteers and assist parents and students in selecting uniform items. It is also a space to connect and engage with other parents.
‘I love being part of the community and giving back,’ Annette said.
‘I’ve met some great people and absolutely love sharing this role with Yasmin. We have a lot of laughs together.’
Yasmin says she particularly enjoys being able to assist new parents navigating Trinity for the first time.
‘Just providing a sounding board or some parent advice is really rewarding,’ she said.
The Trinity Second Hand Uniform Shop is always on the lookout for volunteers, which, as Annette and Yasmin attest, is a great way to get involved.
‘It offers parents and guardians the opportunity to be part of the wider
school community by getting to know each other,’ Annette said.
‘Whether it is touching base with other parents, sharing a funny story of the week, providing a listening ear, or clarifying what the boys need to wear, it all makes being involved such an enjoyment,’ Yasmin added.
The shop moved to its current larger location at 62 Charles Street in 2021, which Annette says has been particularly useful in maintaining a COVID-safe environment. It is located next door to the Cotham Road Centre on Charles Street and can be identified by its large ivycovered fence.
