School Uniforms
School uniforms can be purchased from NZ Uniforms online. For more information, click here. We have second-hand uniforms available in the staff room. Please ask at the office.
Stationery
Stationery is included as part of your school fees. Students can bring their own pens and pencils in a pencil case to keep things together.
Homework
Homework consists of areas where students will benefit from reinforcement or follow-up on learning in class. We understand many of our students participate in extracurricular activities outside of school hours, and the value and skills these learning opportunities create.
Digital Devices
For junior students (Years 1-2), digital technology is limited. Our Year 3–8 students require a Chromebook, iPad with a keyboard, or a laptop. We provide in-class access to digital devices for Year 3-4 students.
