E. UNIFORMS

Wearing the school uniform is compulsory on the school premises (including for sport and winter clothing).

Uniforms are available from our supplier, Threads, at 2 stores: BurJuman and Cityland.

BurJuman: The store has moved to a new unit on Level 2.
Cityland Mall: The store remains open with no changes — uniforms can still be purchased there.

Right next to the new BurJuman store, the supplier has just opened Scribble Street, a new shop offering school supplies.

Together, the two stores now offer a one-stop solution for school uniforms, shoes, bags, supplies, name labels, swimwear, lunch boxes, water bottles and more.

To celebrate the opening, the supplier is offering up to 30% off selected items at the new Threads store in BurJuman Mall, for a limited time.
