Uniforms

When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community. All uniform items can be purchased from our office. Please contact the school to make an appointment on (02) 9628 2444.

Healthy Lunchboxes

Our Kindergarten teachers will initially help your child during eating times by reminding them to wash their hands. Staff will encourage them to finish their food and not to share their food with friends.

Tip: Pack food that you know your child likes and will eat and help your child learn how to unwrap their food and eat it on their own.

Here is a resource that can guide you through packing healthy food for morning tea and lunch.
