Orders must be placed by the Thursday 7th December 2023 in order for your child to receive their pack for the first day of Term 1.
Orders placed after the due date may NOT be processed until February due to our extremely busy schedule in January. NO EXCEPTIONS
We apologise if you are a new enrolment or missed the due date due to unavoidable circumstances, but the school is aware your pack won’t be ready on the first day of school, so your child should not be disadvantaged.
Orders placed after the due date will also incur an additional $8.00 processing fee
All packs will be delivered to the school and cannot be collected from Paperchase.
Complete packs only can be ordered through Paperchase. We do not have a walk-in shop and individual items cannot be purchased. All orders must be placed online.
