Second Hand Uniform
Term 4 presents an excellent time to lodge second-hand garments for sale as they can be processed and put on display ready for purchase during the back to school period.
All second-hand items sold via the School Shop directly benefit the Parents and Friends Association, with a portion of the commission fee being donated to the P&F.
Due to workflow constraints, any items lodged in January will not be processed until after the commencement of Term 1. Lodgement forms which include terms and conditions for acceptance of items can be found on the school website.
School Drop-off & Pick-up

This area has no parking between 8am to 8:30am and 3pm to 3:30pm to provide short 'Stop, Drop & Go' car spaces. Please do not stop or park over neighbour driveways in Carr Street or other nearby residences.
