The Second hand Uniform Shop 

Hi everyone, 

I am very pleased to be taking over the second hand uniform shop this year. We have started the year strongly with a fantastic new setup and layout of stock. Thanks to Angie for facilitating this upgrade to our space over the holidays!

Thanks for all the ongoing donations of washed, second hand uniforms in good to excellent condition (no holes, stains, tears). Please continue to leave them in the labeled 'bin' which sits in the hall foyer or give them directly to Nicole in the office.

This year I will open the shop two days per term but please email me if you need anything between these dates and I can send the uniform home with students. 

Payment will continue to be made through the CDF pay app. (Select SHOP, then " Second hand uniform", click on any date, add items to add up to dollar amount due, pay via the cart).

All proceeds go straight back into our school and funds are used to purchase equipment and resources for the children. I encourage you to support our school whilst being resourceful and check our supplies before heading to Bob Stewart. 

We have an abundance of several items in excellent condition. Please refer to the spreadsheet of current stock (published in the newsletter) before emailing your request to jess.h.nichols@gmail.com.

Any enquiries please contact Jess Nichols, jess.h.nichols@gmail.com 

Second Hand Uniform Shop - Opening Days & Times 

 Thursday 19th March 3.20pm -4pm

Tuesday 17th March 8.30am -9 am

(Access via double doors between hall entrance and art room). 

Thanks for your support!

Child Safety

Key Changes to Access Procedures

To enhance our security measures and ensure we remain fully Child Safety Compliant during school hours, we have implemented important changes to our gate procedures.

To maintain a secure school environment, the following changes are now in effect:

• Perimeter Gates (Glenvale and Valency Roads) will be locked from 9:15 am until 3:00 pm.
• The only entry point during these hours will be via the Reception Gate on Glenvale Road.
• Should you need to enter the school between 9:15 am and 3:00 pm, please use the Reception Gate.

Security Note

Please be reminded that, as per safety regulations, CCTV cameras are in operation across the school grounds to monitor activity and ensure the safety of our students and staff.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and secure environment for all our learners.
