About The School Locker


The School Locker is passionate about giving students every opportunity to unlock their potential.

Whether it is through technology, music, sport, academic text books and programs, superior stationery or unrivalled uniform and apparel quality, we understand providing students with a platform to shine is at the heart of every dedicated educational organisation.

Reputation and brand is of great value to schools and universities. The School Locker approach respects and protects this at all times. We can enhance the offering of schools and universities by facilitating a one-stop shop on campus filled with products and services aimed at bringing out the best in every student.

Our innovative campus store concept also unlocks the financial potential of schools and universities with a revenue-sharing model designed to boost their bottom line.

Uniform and branded apparel specialists

The School Locker are uniform and branded apparel specialists dedicated to quality, value and service.

With an entrenched reputation for excellence – our uniform experts and hand-picked suppliers are the best in the business. We understand the importance, complexity and competing demands of a well put-together uniform.

Schools and universities want quality design, fabrics and production as well as positive brand recognition. Students and parents need value, durability and low maintenance – they want attractive, comfortable and fit-for-function options. Bringing these imperatives together is what The School Locker does best.

Our uniform and apparel range covers every requirement – from hats to bespoke blazers, school badges to bathers, tunics to tennis caps, sports tops to branded socks.

The School Locker’s end-to-end offering, and enviable buying power, means we can provide outstanding quality uniforms and branded apparel at outstanding wholesale prices – maximising the revenue return to your school or university.

In addition to our high-quality range we can also provide the added convenience of buying uniform items and apparel online or at one of The School Locker superstores – all of which flows back to our partner schools and universities as part of our unique revenue-sharing agreement


Our revenue sharing model and Student Advantage Membership provides direct financial benefits for schools and universities.

Generating Revenue

Our revenue sharing program offers partner schools and universities an ongoing income based on the value of purchases made by their students in a campus store, in one of our retail superstores or online. The revenue sharing program applies to all product categories – uniforms and branded apparel, stationery, technology, sports equipment, musical instruments and accessories, footwear and non-branded apparel. Our extensive product range offers our partners the opportunity to increase the value of this income stream

Receiving Revenue

Partner schools and universities receive a monthly revenue statement, which breaks down all sales attributed to the school or university by category, as well as the total amount payable. Revenue is deposited into a nominated bank account

Student Advantage membership

 

To boost this return we issue the students at each partner school or university with a Student Advantage Membership. This connects student purchases to their institution. Student Advantage Membership is recognised in all our stores and qualifies students for discounted educational pricing on technology purchases as well as providing access to a range of product specials. School students are issued with a Student Advantage Membership card. Universitiy students can simple use their university student card.

 


 

Direct Supply

If your organisation would like to take advantage of our buying power, we can develop and arrange the manufacture of your uniforms or branded apparel to be purchased at wholesale prices. The School Locker can offer direct supply solutions across all our categories including bulk purchases of technology, musical instruments and sporting equipment.
