Welcome to our new PTF Gardens and Grounds Officer, Adam Meda

"I am delighted to have joined the Sandringham College PTF with the responsibility for gardens and grounds. I am looking forward to getting involved with various projects, first of which is the working bee on the morning of Sunday 24 April, so hopefully I will see as many of you there as possible - it's only for a couple of hours, and tea, coffee and morning tea will be provided! I look forward to meeting you soon. "

Cheers, Adam Meda

A big thank you to Eddie Jenkins and Kellie Jones volunteering more time to provide Adam with such a great handover. Gardening Club will start up again in the later half of Term 2.

We're here to help you get ready for winter uniform in Term 2

The Second Hand Uniform shop will be open Thursday 28 April 8.15am-9.15am.

With prices half of brand new, the Second Hand uniform shop is here to help you get ready for winter uniform. All funds raised go back to the school via the many PTF projects. Run by our wonderful volunteers, the second hand uniform shop is open every Thursday 8.15am-9.15am during school terms, and is located at the Bluff Rd campus. We ask that parents please check in at reception first.

Winter uniform transition period extended to 30 May 2022.

Due to the knock on effects of COVID, our uniform supplier Bob Stewart has had supply and delivery issues. To support families and students, the school will extend the normal change over to winter uniform to later in Term 2. Students are expected to wear their blazers to class commencing Week 4, Term 2 but are not expected to be in full winter uniform until May 30.

Clearing out your old uniform over the break? We need them!

We’re in need of new stock for the Second Hand Uniform Shop, so please donate your unwanted uniform in the donation bins located in reception at both campuses during school hours.
