Stage Three Parent Information 2014

This is a brief note to give you some information about the equipment your child needs next year. A note containing further information relating to curriculum matters for Stage Three will be sent home early in the new school year. Please be aware that each childs personal school equipment will need replenishing from time to time especially items such as glue and lead pencils as they are used so frequently. It is imperative that each child has their own pencils, ruler, glue and scissors as if they do not have their own equipment a substantial amount of learning time each day can be spent waiting to share other peoples equipment.
