Stationery packs can be purchased from our school office for $26.50. Our packs contain all of the stationery your child will need to start school.
Once you have paid for a stationery pack, your child's teacher will name your child's items and have everything ready for when they start school.
Your child will need to bring a drink bottle of water and a packed lunch to school each day. They are welcome to bring any food that they enjoy but we would prefer if lollies or candy were not sent to school.
It is helpful if your child can independently use their drink bottle and lunch box as well as open any packets they may have.

Lunch (hot chips) can be ordered from the Willowbank Dairy. You can order this in the morning at the dairy and it will be delivered to your child.
You can also order PitaPit, Subway and Sushi through EzLunch.
It is very helpful if your child can have spare clothing with them each day in case of accidents or if they become wet or muddy in the playground. We also recommend a wet bag or another storage bag for their dirty clothing. Please ensure that all of your children's clothing is clearly named - thank you!
When purchasing a school bag for your child, we recommend that it is a large size (any brand or style is fine). In their backpack your child will need to carry many items - their lunchbox, book bag, poetry book, library books and spare clothing. It is easier for the children if they are able to fit all of these items in their bags. The approximate size of large school bag is 30cm wide, 40cm high, 15cm deep.
