The school has a compulsory school uniform which is on sale at the school uniform room. Items of school uniform are:
• Track pants

• Skorts
Sizes range from 4 to 18. A current price list is available from our office staff who looks after the uniforms. During the swimming season, each child should have togs and a towel. All clothing must be named for easy identification.

Stationery

Our school is a member of ‘EASISHOP.’ At the beginning of each year, each pupil is issued with a stationery list of the year’s requirements. However we allow children to finish off the previous year’s books first.  Stationery is sold through the school office. Since we are a member of EASISHOP our prices are competitive. Throughout the year each class is provided with coloured pencils and crayons for publishing work.

Lunch Bar

We have a school lunch bar that operates daily. The food is healthy and the prices very competitive. A detailed list of items and current price is available from Whaea Leah Moa who looks after the Lunch Bar. Whaea Leah is available to take lunch orders from 8.30am till 9.00am. A simple method is to write your child’s name, room number and order on the outside of an envelope and seal the money inside.
Credit for lunch orders is only given with the Principal’s Approval. A maximum credit of $20 only is permitted.

CHILDREN ARE NOT PERMITTED TO GO TO THE SHOPS AT LUNCHTIME UNLESS THEY HAVE A LUNCH PASS.  TO GET A LUNCH PASS THE CHILD WILL NEED TO BRING A SIGNED NOTE FROM THEIR PARENTS.

Public Health Nurse

She oversees the general health of all our pupils. She carries out Form 1 immunisations. Parents are notified prior to the immunisation so that they can give consent.
