Uniform Shop

In early 2024, Pulteney launched its new uniform in partnership with Dobsons sustainable uniform supplier. It offers a modern mix-and-match wardrobe that emphasises flexibility, comfort and ecofriendly material. Notably, it provides more options for girls including academic shorts and pants. This move to a new sustainable and flexible uniform was a request by our students and was supported by leadership and the Pulteney community. The School is proud of this transition and of being the first School in South Australia to make the change.

Pulteney’s Uniform Shop is located at 33 Gilles St, Adelaide.

It offers fitting services and carries the full range of uniforms and accessories.

Pulteney's new uniform

Since 2021, Pulteney has been working with students, parents, staff and subsequently with uniform supply companies to develop new directions for the School’s uniform to reflect the high expectations of Pulteney and its community. The identified pillars to guide the process and selection of a suitable partner were quality, sustainability, price, function and image.

The design process spanned two years and involved students, staff, parents, the School Board, Executive, and leadership. Following the tender process, Pulteney engaged the services of Dobson’s, a sustainable uniform designer, to create a wardrobe that is comfortable, stylish and eco-friendly. A comprehensive survey to the community highlighted key themes such as comfort, gender neutrality, and a sustainable approach, which played a significant role in shaping the new designs, as did feedback from stakeholder groups as sample pieces were unveiled.

The new uniform, available since Term 1 2024, offers a modern mix-and-match wardrobe that emphasises flexibility, comfort and sustainability. Notably, it provides more options for girls, including pinafores, skirts, pants, and skorts, all designed with eco-friendly fabrics.

As part of the new partnership, Dobsons have commenced operations of Pulteney’s Uniform Shop. As we transition into this new phase, please be assured that the exceptional level of customer service you currently enjoy will remain a top priority. Liz and her team will remain in the Uniform Shop, ensuring a seamless and familiar experience for you and your family.

Wearing of the new uniform will be a requirement from Term 1 2027.

Why has revamped its school uniform?

The decision to revamp our School uniform was driven by several key objectives:

One Pulteney: We aim to unify the School’s appearance across all levels while offering age-appropriate differences.
Modernisation: Our new uniform reflects the values of our community, modernising academic and sports attire while preserving Pulteney’s identity and reputation, particularly the navy blue legacy.
Inclusivity: We want every student to feel comfortable, regardless of their gender or background.
Sustainability: We are pioneering sustainable practices, becoming the first school in South Australia to introduce eco-friendly fabrics and finishes.
Cost-Effective: The new uniform aims to be more affordable for our community.
