On behalf of Aspley East State School’s P & C Association Uniform Shop, I would like to hereby recommend Official as a supplier of school uniforms. Previously, uniforms were outsourced to local uniform suppliers. This meant we had no control of what was being sold and for how much. Also there were no funds coming back to the school. Nigel of Official advised the school that when running a uniform shop we needed to make sure it was a viable business and a major fundraising venture for the school. No other supplier had talked to us along these lines. Nigel pointed out that usually fundraising at schools saw the same parents putting their hands in their pockets but with uniforms, every family was required to participate – thus spreading the fundraising among all families at the school. The Uniform Shop at Aspley East has now been running for 4 years and we are continually seeing a growth in profits. Official is always behind us coming up with new and innovative ideas to increase our range of what we offer to the children. Official have also recently implemented Scholarship for Dreams in Australia as well as Vietnam and this is them giving back to help those achieve a dream of theirs. How many organisation do you know do this? What a wonderful thing to be a part of. To sum up, Official is highly recommended to any school looking for a new uniform supplier and the Aspley East State School P & C Association staff would be only too happy to answer any questions that schools may have in their quest to set up their own uniform shop. A visit to our uniform shop can also be arranged if desired. We are very proud of our shop and also proud to be associated with Official.

The shirts have arrived and already handed out .... the kids were very excited and they look great!
