Description:

A Christchurch school's uniform costs has hit families in the back pocket.

A new gender-neutral uniform has been introduced for Burnside High School’s incoming year 9 students.

But the compulsory items, including a PE kit, will cost parents up to $540 dollars with extra items bringing the final cost to $700. There's also no second-hand option.

Burnside High School acting principal Andrea Griffin says the prices sit in the middle compared to other schools in the decile group and there have been teething problems with introducing new items.
