Striped Polo Top $38.00
Cargo Pants $29.00
Plain Polo Top $28.00
Jazz Pants $25.00
Hooded Jacket $48.00
Grange Dress $52.00

**Prices inclusive of GST**
We will be taking orders through the school at the Front Office and via the Qkr app until Friday 30th November. After this date you will need to visit Amanda at Westside, Shop 6, Falkirk Avenue, Seaton. Opening hours are Monday to Wednesday 10.00 a.m. and 5.30 p.m., Thursday 10.00 am to 8.00 pm and closed Fridays. You will be able to try on and purchase most items listed above. If they are not in stock then you will be able to place an order on the spot. Alternatively, you can order online via the Westside website at www.westsideschoolwear.com.au. There will also soon be a link to Westside on our school website. You can elect to either pick up your order from the shop or have it delivered to your home for a small fee.
We anticipate that the transition to this new way of buying our school uniforms will be a smooth one. Amanda Daly from Westside has been supplying Grange Primary School with our uniforms for almost 15 years and provides excellent quality service. Westside is a local business and all the uniforms are made and embroidered on site by Amanda.
We thank you for your cooperation during this change.
ICAS RESULTS 2018
Congratulations to all students who participated in this year’s ICAS Competitions. The ICAS Assessments Series is designed to assess your students' ability to apply classroom learning in new contexts, using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. It is fantastic that so many students from Years 2-7 participated this year and stretched themselves as learners.
Please see results below for the Digital Technologies, Science, Spelling, Writing, English and Maths papers below. Individual certificates and awards will be distributed at the next school assembly. Please note we are still waiting for the results from the Australian Mathematics Competition for 2018.
The ICAS test papers will continue in 2019 for students in Years 2-7. Please see the link below if you require more information.
