School Uniform Update

Dear Families,

Looking Smart has sold the school uniform part of their business to DCS Uniforms. There will no longer be a shop front as such, school uniforms can be purchased online only.

The delivery day of uniforms to school will be each Thursday. Uniforms can be posted straight home, but there will be a $10 postage fee.

When placing an order please make sure you add your child's name and grade.

This is the link to the store - https://www.dcsuniforms.com.au/collections/ocean-grove-primary-school

For any exchanges or queries parents please call 9398 2222 or email sales@dcsuniforms.com.au alternatively parents can call the manager on 0425 796 053. Please do not contact the school office for uniform queries.

The sizing is the same as you would have used at Looking Smart as the stock has been transferred over to DCS Uniforms. We have a rack located in the staffroom with some sample sizes if you need to try anything on before ordering.

As hats are required for term 1 and 4, please order early so they can be delivered on Thursdays.

We value your feedback via email to the school as we transition to the new supplier.

Kind Regards,

Nude Food at OGPS

‘Nude Food’ is a popular term in schools. But what exactly is ‘Nude Food’?

Food is food without excess packaging. It is food that comes to school without disposable packaging such as extra plastic bags, paper bags, wrappings or cling wraps.

At OGPS we encourage student to package snacks and lunches in durable, reusable containers. They are a great way to bring food and keep it fresh, promote healthy eating, provide long term cost savings and environmental benefits with reduced packing and waste.

Tips for Nude Food:

Avoid using cling-wrap, zip-lock or plastic bags, foil, single use cutlery or pre-packaged foods.

Involve children in packing/making their own lunch and snacks – they’re more likely to eat it.If mornings are busy, pack food the night before and keep it in the fridge.
Ask children what they like to eat at school and how much time they have to eat (it may be different and much less than at home).
Try making your own snacks.
Many snack items can be bought in bulk and decanted into smaller reusable containers. This can reduce packaging and save money.
