Hobsonville School has a compulsory junior and senior uniform and our families are asked to ensure that it is worn correctly at all times, with all items clearly named.  The uniform can be purchased from our supplier, ArgyleOnline, see below for more information on where and how to purchase.

Hats

Hobsonville is a ‘Sun Smart School’. So we have introduced a ‘compulsory’ wide-brim hat for our junior students (Yrs 0–6) and a bucket hat for our seniors (Yrs 7–8), inline with our sun protection policy. They can both be purchased from ArgyleOnline, with the wide-brim hat also available to purchase from the school office. A beanie is available for the winter months.

Footwear & Socks

You can opt for navy blue or black shoes OR sandals for the summer months. Socks can be black or navy. Jandals, crocs and boots are not deemed acceptable footwear at Hobsonville School. On specific sports or sports training days (i.e. athletics, cross country etc) children can wear their sports shoes. Footwear and socks are NOT supplied by Argyle, they can be purchased from retail outlets.

Jewellery & Hair

Wearing jewellery at school is not allowed unless it is a watch or cultural item. Earrings should be small studs only. We recommend that long hair be tied back with a neutral hairband (i.e. skin colour, navy or black) while at school.

Whare (house) Group t-shirt

When students start at Hobsonville School, they are placed in one of four whare (house) group’s: MAUNGA (green), AWA (blue), WAKA (red) and KĀHINGA (yellow) – siblings are placed together in the same group. Whare groups come together on school sports and cultural days where students are expected to wear their whare t-shirts. These can be purchased through KINDO Shop, samples are available to try for size in the school office. If you are unsure which group your child belongs to, please ask your child’s teacher or the school office.

Sports Uniform

Our new sports uniform is now available to purchase through our supplier, ArgyleOnline. We understand the financial challenges 2020 has had on all our families, so for 2021 the sports uniforms will be optional. However, we understand that some families will want to buy the sports uniform as their child may get plenty of use out of it over several years and possibly across several sporting disciplines, then either keep it as a sporting memento, or sell it on second hand.

There are three options:

• Sports T-shirt: Norwest sport (Y5-8), except basketball and girls netball, PE sessions every Thursday and optional for Hobsonville School Sports events e.g. Athletics and Cross Country.
• Sports Singlet: Basketball, out-of-school (Y1-8) and in-school (Y7-8). Touch, out-of-school (Y1-8) and in-school (Y5-8). In-school Norwest competitions such as Volleyball, Tag and Rippa.
• Netball Dress: Netball, out-of- school (Y1-8) and in-school Norwest competition (Y5-8).

Order process: purchase the sports uniform from argyleonline.co.nz per instructions below, a payment plan is available if required (NB: there is a 5 week order turnaround). The school office has a set of all 3 sports uniforms (of varying sizes) for your child to try on during office hours (8am-3pm). If purchasing of a sports uniform is not feasible for your family at this time, the school is offering a sports uniform hire option in 2021 at a cost of $10 per sport, per season.
