👕 Non-uniform day - ‘Around the World in Jerseys!’ Around the World in Jerseys!
6th July 2026
One of the nicest traditions during the final week of term is our non-uniform day, giving students the chance to swap their uniforms for something a little more colourful while raising money for our Community Service Club.
This term, with the FIFA World Cup currently being hosted by Canada, Mexico and the USA, students were invited to come dressed in the football shirt of their choice. From international teams to club sides from every corner of the globe, it was fantastic to see such a colourful variety of shirts on display throughout the school.
As well as bringing plenty of colour and friendly football rivalry to the campus, the day also raised valuable funds to support the Community Service Club and the important projects it leads throughout the year. The event was planned and coordinated by members of the Community Service Club under the leadership of our Head of Community Service, Japjot.
As Japjot leaves Braeburn this term to begin university a year early, I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for the outstanding contribution she has made to our school. Through her leadership of the Community Service Club and her willingness to get involved in every aspect of school life, she has been a wonderful role model for others. Always positive, dependable and committed to serving others, she has left a lasting mark on the Braeburn community. We are grateful for everything she has done and wish her every success in this exciting next chapter.
Thank you to everyone who embraced the theme, donated so generously and helped make the day another memorable non-uniform day!
From thunderous cheers on the sidelines to brilliant displays of teamwork on the pitch, both the boys and girls gave it everything they had, showcasing two different but equally thrilling styles of the game.
This year saw an exciting split in how the tournament was played, giving students the perfect platform to showcase their skills:
The Girls' Division (Touch Rugby): The girls took to the pitch for a fast-paced tournament of touch rugby. Without the heavy collisions, the focus shifted entirely to blistering pace, agile footwork, and immaculate passing.
The Boys' Division (Contact Rugby): The boys laced up for full-contact rugby, bringing sheer power, tactical kicking, and intense breakdown battles to the field.
While every house brought their A-game, the day ultimately belonged to one powerhouse. In an incredible, history-making sweep, Malala House dominated both formats of the game!
