NEW SUPPLIER FOR 2023 STUDENT STATIONERY NEEDS

Last Wednesday  you should have received an Operoo message regarding ordering you child's stationery supplies for 2023. The information in the message is repeated below.

You have been invited to use our new on-line supplier for your child's 2023 stationery needs. Please find attached a 'How to Order' information sheet, which contains a link to access the supplier (Campion Education) and your child's stationery list.

If you purchase these supplies through Campion, you will pay them directly and your order will be delivered to your nominated address by Wednesday 25th January 2023. You can also choose to collect your order from Campion Education who are located in Hallam.

All orders must be prepaid. Payment can be made by Mastercard or Visa. A $5.95 processing charge applies for all orders.

Orders need to be placed by Wednesday 14th December. Late orders will incur an extra delivery charge.

You can of course purchase the items from another retailer if you prefer. You can print a list directly from Campion Education or we can provide you with one.

Please give us a call if you have any questions.

SANTA'S LETTERBOX

Point Nepean Men's Shed and Bunnings have come together to spread some fun. The children have received an invitation to write a letter to Santa and to post it in the special letter box in the admin area. Make sure your child's name, school and grade are on the letter. The box will be collected on Friday 2nd December and the children will receive a reply from Santa on Monday 5th December.
