Explanation Notes:

Parents are requested to purchase some multiple high usage items for use throughout the year, saving
parents the inconvenience of being approached repeatedly to purchase replacement items. Where
multiple items are listed please either forward all at the beginning of the year or negotiate with your
childs teacher as there may be some variance between teachers at particular year levels. Items will be
stored for use as required.

For many items, eg. Pencils, glue and ruler (etc) it is desirable that students have two sets one to leave
at home and another for school. This will save having to carry these items backwards and forwards and
will reduce the incidence of Ive left my pencils at home

Individual classes may require other items to suit particular programmes such as consumable
workbooks, crayons, scrap books, display books, files, plastic sleeves, plastic document holders etc.
Parents will be advised by their childs teacher early in the year.

Please mark all items clearly with childs name and year level.
