ONLINE ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

You only need to complete an application form if any of the following changes have occurred:

new student enrolments; your child has started or changed schools in 2024 or you did not apply in 2023.

changed family circumstances; such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing at the school in 2024. Check with the school office if you are unsure

In order to process your CSEF application, you will need to provide the school with your current Health Care Card which must be valid as of 29th January 2024.
