Dear Parents/Carers/Students

One of the key learning from last year in the final 2 weeks leading into the Start of Term 1 2023, is that our stores are much like “Myer Stocktake sales every day for 2 weeks”, and due to the overwhelming customers passing through our Stores we cannot physically cater for large walk – ins and appointment bookings.

Therefore, unfortunately we cannot take bookings after Jan 16th, until Schools start. Customers can naturally still book appointments up until that date, so a reminder before Xmas would be greatly appreciated. 

We truly care that your families have a positive experience in our stores when buying your School uniform, so any help or assistance you can give us in greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Mark Fraser

Staying safe from mosquitoes

After heavy rainfall, mosquitoes can grow and spread in the pools of water left behind.

While the overall risk is low, some mosquitoes carry diseases that are spread through their bites. Mosquitoes are more active at dusk and dawn, but some will also bite during the day.

The best way to prevent mosquito-borne diseases is to avoid mosquito bites.

When mosquitoes are prevalent and cannot be avoided families can protect against mosquito bites by:

• covering up as much as possible with long, loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing
• applying insect repellent that contains picaridin or DEET on exposed skin when leaving home
• limiting outdoor activity if lots of mosquitoes are active.

Further information

• Better Health Channel information about preventing mosquito-borne diseases
• A handy checklist to help reduce mosquito breeding sites at home
• Department of Health safety advice for flood-affected areas, in a range of languages.
