Uniform for new students - how to order
HAB uniform is supplied by an online school outfitter, Stevensons. Please see our uniform page for details of how to order.
We also plan to hold a uniform sizing day over the summer and we'll have more information towards the end of the summer term. This is not a compulsory event, but we appreciate that some of you may value an opportunity to see the sizing of the uniform before placing an order.
September start dates
Once your daughter has had her Year 7 induction day in early September she will attend every day thereafter.
Support for girls
Our priority is always ensuring the physical and psychological safety of the children in our care, and of all members of our community. We want HAB to be safe and to feel safe for all.
