About Us

Company Profile

Our Parent company, Clifton Clothing, has been in garment manufacturing for well over 30 years and presided over by our current Managing Director, Mr Peter Kisvarda since inception. Some 15 years ago, Peter having two daughters at school and fed up with buying schoolwear that just did not last, and at the time, were not warm enough, decided to make his own daughter's school uniforms.

What started out as a Father, supplying his own children with garments that lasted and kept them warm, quickly developed into supplying school friends and thus our Schoolwear division was born. From such a small but auspicious start, we have grown to become one of the most diverse and flexible schoolwear suppliers in Australia today. We have never sacrificed quality of raw materials and manufacturing techniques. We have supported the theory that just as Peter's daughter were important to him, so to are your children to you.

It seems that necessity is truly the mother, or in this case, Father of all creativity.

We are fully cognisant of the fact that we must keep prices at an affordable level and we will continue to do so by investing in better technology, better manufacturing techniques, improved efficiency but not by sacrificing the very thing we stand for - QUALITY and the COMFORT of your children.

We understand what we must do to maintain and achieve the objectives defined in our mission statement. Try our products, and rate them based on all we say and stand for. I am sure that you will appreciate your purchase and rate us highly. We can't and won't settle for anything less than A+, we are convinced you will agree.

If for any reason, you don't agree, please let us know - your feedback is very important to us and should a garment that does not live up to our promise leave our company, we need to find the cause of it - immediately.

Benefits of wearing a School Uniform

We are aware that healthy growth and development requires reasonably free expression, within limitations, a sense of belonging and self-confidence to expose true character. To achieve this children need to feel comfortable in their surroundings both immediate and environmental, as well, it is paramount they feel safe and secure. A+ schoolwear recognises and supports Children's emotional and physical needs by offering our schoolwear to help their educators and parents in the pursuit of happy childhood development and emotional stability.

  • Sense of Belonging Wearing a school uniform allows a child to identify with others at the school on equal terms. It promotes the sense of a team and actively identifies them as a member of this environment. They feel and are part of a larger community than they are in their homes and feel confident that they have a right to be there. This environment promotes emotional unity, physical team building and is far less competitive
  • Self Confidence Uniformed Schools generally promote children taking a pride in their appearance whilst actively pursuing pride in the school. Children are eager to participate in promotion of the same as it reinforces their sense of belonging. They feel good to be part of the school environment and as such feel confident in themselves. Generally feeling good and assured allows for much better performance. This confidence eventual becomes self-generating.
  • Comfort We all know the feeling of being warm on a cold day or being cool on a warm one. Children are no different in fact they are more susceptible to the climate than we are. One of the direct physical attributes of wearing appropriate clothing is that if your child is comfortable, they perform better in all activities in life. School uniforms are manufactured with these clear mandates and appropriately are made for these conditions.
  • Safety Sad as it is to say, our children need every effort from us all to promote every aspect of safety. We have all heard the phrase safety in numbers and quite simply school uniforms offer that protection. It allows for easy identification by the general public and identifies them directly back to the school.
  • School uniforms build Team Spirit A uniform promotes team building in that it allows children to accept on another as a fellow member of their environment. It allows for less discrimination and promotes the ideal of equality. It promotes the idea of a large community made up of many singular entities. Just like a jigsaw puzzle - many pieces of varying shapes and sizes join together to create the big picture.
