- A water bottle, recess, lunch and snack

We are a ‘Nut Aware’ school therefore we kindly ask that no peanut butter or products containing nuts, such as Nutella, are sent in children’s lunchboxes.
Please make sure everything is clearly labelled with your child’s name.
We use the Kinderloop platform to manage communication. You will receive log in information from Prep staff following your child’s commencement.
Our students wear their uniforms with pride and are expected to maintain high personal standards of presentation.
The Uniform Shop is located next to the School on Western Avenue, there are visitor car spaces available in our Western Avenue car park. The Second-Hand uniform shop is located just behind the Uniform Shop, also accessed via Western Avenue.
New student fit outs require an appointment at the Uniform Shop. Book an appointment here.

Our Prep operates between 7.30am – 5.30pm. It is expected that most children will be dropped off by 9.00am to participate in our program.
All children must be signed in on arrival and signed out on departure. We use an electronic sign in/out system, with iPads located next to the Administration Office. Please ask for assistance if you are having trouble logging on or accessing your details.
PICK UP
Parents are welcome to collect their child from Prep anytime before 5.30pm, but we strongly encourage arriving before 2.30pm or after 3.30pm to avoid the Junior School pick up congestion.
Junior School (Kindergarten-Year 6) carline operates between 3.00pm – 3.40pm. If you need to pick up your child up during this time please use one of the three 5-minute parking spots available in the Junior School car park. It is likely you will experience congestion so please plan accordingly. Once car line concludes further parking is available along the walkway.
The stacked car parking outside TIGS Prep is reserved at all times for staff only. We thank you for not parking in these allocated spots.
Please notify The Piper Centre if you are unable to collect your child by 5.30pm. Children not picked up by 5.30pm will be supervised by Piper Centre staff and a late fee will apply.
