SCHOOL UNIFORM
|
Our school uniform consists of the following:
A navy tracksuit trousers, red and navy t-shirt and red and navy zipped top. School shorts can be worn during warmer weather. This school tracksuit introduced in school year 2021-2022 and can be purchased from ID Sports, Mitchelstown. 6th class pupils can wear their navy and blue 6th class tracksuit top.

As a school, we place great importance on working in partnership with our families and pupils. A recent example of this collaboration is the introduction of the tracksuit-only uniform, which followed feedback from our school community. From September 2026 onwards, all pupils will wear the school tracksuit only. This decision was made after careful consideration by the Board of Management, taking into account the range of views, as well as the advantages and disadvantages.
In the same spirit of partnership, the Board of Management asks for parents/guardians continued support in ensuring that the agreed uniform is worn correctly each day.
The Board of Management has ratified a policy that only official school shorts may be worn to school. This arrangement has been in place for several years now. The approved shorts were chosen to complement the tracksuit and to ensure consistency across the school. These can be purchased locally from ID Sports.
While the Board of Management remains committed to listening to and engaging with our school community, it is equally important that agreed policies are respected and followed by all. By working together, we can maintain a positive, inclusive, and consistent environment for every pupil.
Yours sincerely,
The Board of Management,

Our Uniform in the Past
Since the early days of the Mitchelstown Presentation primary school, the pupils wore uniforms. This practice was welcome, as the uniform was often the only respectable clothing possessed by the pupils. Below is an example of the uniform worn around 1910. This photograph was taken in front of the convent’s south wing (which later became Marianville).
