Grade 6 - 2023 Jackets
(current grade 5 parents must purchase)
Dear 2023 Grade 6 Parents,
After a vote by the current grade 5 students last week, we have come up with a design for the bomber jackers for 2023 and are looking to order these by the end of the school year so they are available to students on the first day of Term 1 next year.
The price per item is $45.00.
The jackets will need to be paid for before you collect the item next year. This can be done over the phone using EFTPOS or paying by EFTPOS in person at the office or on-line using CDF pay at the link below
PURCHASE THROUGH ONLINE CDF PAY HERE
As the bomber jackets will be worn most of autumn, winter and spring in 2023, it is recommended you purchase a size up to allow for your child’s growth over the next 12-18months.
The current grade 6 students have kindly allowed the grade 5’s to try on their jackets to get an indication of size, so please have a chat with your child about sizing, and consult the link below if in doubt.
Please email Tory Parker: tparker@bunyip.catholic.edu.au with your intent to purchase and your child’s size by Friday 10th December.
Sizing:
Standard Kid’s Sizes from 6-12
Adults range from XXXS-XXXL
