St Albans Secondary College can help you access support through the State Schools’ Relief Fund for uniforms and school shoes.
All requests are handled with care and confidentiality. Assistance may be provided in the form of clothing or footwear from our stock, delivered directly to your school at no cost, or by authorisation to purchase items from your school shop or supplier on a co-payment basis.
How to Request Assistance
State Schools’ Relief can only respond to requests submitted by principals, assistant principals, welfare coordinators and Sub School Leaders.
If you are a parent or carer struggling to provide your child’s uniform, please arrange an appointment with your child’s coordinator, assistant principal, or welfare coordinator to discuss your situation.
