Starting Your School Uniform Shop
Opening a school uniform shop is a rewarding way to support your school community while ensuring students have access to quality, affordable uniforms.
Here's a simple step-by-step guide to help you get started.
Disclaimer: Kindly note that requirements may vary depending on your school’s policies and government or departmental guidelines.
Step 1: Get in touch with us.
Give us a call on (02) 4648 1066 so we can learn about your school’s needs and guide you through the next steps.
Step 2: Present to the school and/or P&C.
Organise a presentation to your Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association to share the vision and invite their feedback and support.
Step 3: Notify your current suppliers
Out of courtesy and transparency, inform your existing uniform suppliers that you're reviewing or updating your uniform arrangements.
Step 4: Designing and pricing
Work closely with us to design your uniforms and confirm pricing that works for your school.
Step 5: Keep the Uniform Committee in the loop
Update your Uniform Committee regularly so everyone stays informed and involved in key decisions.
Step 6: Tender and Contractor Selection
If required by your school, you can initiate a formal tender process to ensure transparency and compliance.

Step 8: Open your uniform shop
With everything in place, you’re ready to open your fully stocked shop and welcome your school community.
Supporting Your School Every Step of the Way
From Uniform Shop Setup to Service — Made Easy
At Daylight, we understand how busy and important managing a school can be.
That’s why we manage every aspect of setting up and operating your on-site uniform shop, so you can focus on what truly matters - nurturing and inspiring your students without worrying about the details.
We handle the complete shop setup within a designated area of your school, fully stocking it with uniforms designed for comfort, durability, and a perfect fit. Your shop will be equipped with shelving, change rooms (where space permits), easy-to-use POS systems (including wireless EFTPOS and banking facilities), sample racks, stationery, and more. We also provide personalised training for our staff to ensure smooth, confident operation from day one.
To keep the uniform shop connected to your school community, Daylight hires a shop manager from within your school community — carefully selected and approved by you — to work flexible hours. During peak times, we arrange extra support staff so your shop continues running seamlessly.
