The waist measurement on those sort of trousers is fairly flexible - a belt can work to do adjustments. If Elder is up for it, braces can be a fashion statement. Does the school have a second hand shop for uniforms? Fast turnover of garments due to rapid growth means there may be a good selection.
No no no. Braces are NOT a fashion statement on a near teenage boy.
No Urkels. 🤓
Definitely not
The school doesn't have a uniform shop or second hand shop. They encourage everyone to use the dedicated Facebook community, and I don't do Facebook. I don't really want to start a Facebook account just to access second hand uniforms. I guess Miniest is going to the same school eventually so I'll just do as I did in primary school, and buy new garments for Elder and hand them down to Miniest. Luckily she doesn't care. I can organise a state schools relief fund voucher ($85 I think) which will help out a bit.
