LAUNDRY

• White shirts and white clothes
• Mesh wash bags
• Coloured clothes
• Khakis and football jerseys.
• Towels
• Drip-dry or cool-dry clothes (eg: 100% polyester, spandex or other heat affected fabric).

The bags are collected every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Boys may collect their clean laundry from the College pick up point any weekday afternoon or before school on a Wednesday. Boarders are not permitted to go to the Laundry prior to 3.30pm. While the turn-around time may often be as quick as the same day, it is advisable not to leave clothes needed for the weekend, such as sporting gear, to the Friday morning wash. Year 11 and 12 Divisions have facilities to do their own washing and ironing should they desire this. 

Labelling Clothes

All items of clothing must be labelled using only ‘sewn’ labels which are pre-ordered and supplied by The Licona Shop. Each label has the student’s name and laundry number eg: John Smith SIC123. When labelling clothes please sew the labels on the inside collar of shirts, on the inside top of socks, on the back of the waistband of shorts, and on the top edges of towels and sheets. This greatly assists in the sorting of clothes and the correct return of all items from the laundry.

For clothes acquired during the term, a laundry marker is available in the wash area of each Division.  Clothes which have not been labelled with name and laundry number will not be washed.  Clothes which cannot be identified will be returned to the boarding house for students to collect.  Unclaimed clothes will be removed from the boarding house at the end of the term.
