Uniform Shop
All school uniforms can be purchased from the "Uniform Shop" which is located behind the Assembly Hall and is open for two days per week. As these days change periodically, please consult with the school office to check opening days and times.
For those parents who have difficulty obtaining a uniform, a secondhand pool operates also from the uniform shop and most items are available. No child need attend school out of uniform. We make a special request to all parents to help us in our efforts to develop a school pride in the wearing of the uniform. Children should always be neat and tidy.
Canteen
The school has a canteen which operates each day. Voluntary help is always sought. The canteen is operated as a sub-committee of the schools P & C Association.
At recess children do their own buying, looking after their own money.
To order lunch, please write order, name and class clearly on the outside of a paper bag. Put money in an envelope or wrap and place in the lunch bag. To avoid contamination of food do not put money loosely into lunch order bags. Lunch orders must be in the class baskets by 9.15am. Do not order ice blocks, etc with lunch. These items can be bought directly fromt he canteen. The canteen is a healthy food canteen and the menu reflects the healthy food philosophy. For
