Band Presentation night

Beginner band students (new members term 4 2022) are welcome to attend to see all our bands perform; they will not perform on this night but will witness the progress of the band students who have been in the program this year and see what is ahead for them! 

New band Members

The new beginner band is up and running! There are still places available and in particular we are looking for saxophone, trombone and flute player, other instruments are also available. There are no bass guitar positions left, unless you own your instrument. The band is open to students in year 1 to 5 in 2022. Please return notes through this week and ensure you speak to or email Mrs Scott about instrument hire before paying fees.

Music tutors

It is your responsibility to let tutors know if you are going to be absent for a scheduled lesson each week.  

It is a requirement that your child receive instrument tutor lessons to be in band, though this can be accessed outside of school hours by any music tutor provider. If you would like more information on accessing tutors outside of school hours, please email me.

Looking forward to an exciting end of the year.

Ordering Uniforms

 The Uniform Shop operates online all year round – orders placed via QKR will be delivered to classrooms throughout the week.  Alternatively, you can request that orders are left at the office for you to collect.

 If your uniforms are too big/too small, please email us and let us know - we can arrange an exchange to ensure that you have the right ones.  Or if you have ANY questions regarding uniforms prior to ordering - please let us know via email and we are happy to help! cavesuniformshop@gmail.com

Uniform Shop – TERM 4 OPENING HOURS

We will be reopening the School Uniform Shop on site for Term 4 2022 – on Wednesday mornings from 8:45am – 9:30am.  This is mainly to assist our new Kindy families with planning their uniform needs – but all families are welcome!

Price Increase

Our Uniform Suppliers have passed on a number of price increases in the past 2 years which we avoided passing on to our families.  However, with a further price rise we have reviewed all prices and there are some changes to come into effect from Term 4 2022. 

There is some good news to go with this – we have negotiated a price DROP for our sport shirts so they will actually reduce in price!! 

Our school uniform range is still great value and we are significantly cheaper than other retailers on comparable items – eg. our school polos will be $30 from Term 4 whilst Lowes are selling them for $39.

Place your order via the Qkr! App (quick, simple & our preferred option)

**You can link a credit card or debit card to the Qkr! App
