Useful Information

There's no official uniform at Crofton Downs Primary School but many children like to wear items of school clothing which are available for sale through the office. These include school T-shirts, Polar Fleeces, Hoodies and house T-shirts. Click here to download an order form.

Stationery packs are used by our Junior and Middle Pods and these are handed out at the beginning of the year.  The cost of these packs are then added to your school account for payment

The Senior Pod will notify parents of the stationary they need at the end of each year (in time for the new school year)  If you would like further details about this, then please contact our school office on 04 479-2429

Although we ask that rooms children buy their books at the beginning of the year from outside the school, we do carry a range of stationery which children can buy at reasonable cost through out the year.

All students need to wear a sunhat during terms 1 and 4. If they do not have a sunhat on a particular day then they play under the verandahs, in the library or in the covered sandpit.

Sunscreen is NOT provided at school and teachers do not apply sunscreen to children. We recommend providing your child with a roll-on sunblock and teach them how to apply this.  Remember to apply sunblock to your child before they come to school.

Wednesday and Thursday are our wheels days. Children can bring bikes, scooters, roller blades etc to school to ride on the back court only. Children must wear helmets and protective gear in order to ride.

Scooters and bikes must be walked over to the backcourt and not ridden across the playground. Apart from these rules, have fun!
