Each school in NSW offers something slightly different depending on the community. Here's what we offer for you.
Canteen
All canteens in NSW public schools must meet certain requirements. These include providing more healthy food and drink options – to make the healthy choice an easy choice for students. Visit Healthy school canteens to learn more.
Open Monday to Friday and sells a variety of foods over the counter for recess and lunch, as well as pre-ordered lunches.
Our canteen offers online ordering.
This easy to use system shows the full menu and prices, and you can order securely without having to find the correct change or paper bag. This system saves valuable time for our volunteers' and speeds up the morning tasks. Go to www.flexischools.com.au and follow the easy steps. Online orders close at 9:15am.
or You can write your child's name, class and lunch order on a plain paper bag.
Volunteers
We rely on volunteers for the Canteen to operate. If you're able to help out once or twice a term, please speak to the school office.
Please include the correct change, fold the bag and place in the class lunch basket inside the classroom. Please don't glue, tape or staple the bag, or wrap the money to make our volunteers' job much easier.
Lunch baskets are collected by class monitors.
We try to process late ‘bag' lunch orders. Sometimes we may need to substitute menu items, if the ordered food isn't available.
Uniforms
When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.
Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:
meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation
includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics
is appropriate for the full range of school activities
is suitable for all body shapes.

The Croydon Public School Uniform Shop is open every Tuesday & Thursday from 8:45am to 9:15am. It is operated by the P&C and is run by volunteers. All profits are returned to the P&C for the benefit of the school community. This is a valuable method of raising funds for the school while maintaining the quality and affordability of our school uniform.
The Uniform shop is located in the administration building, directly opposite the main reception. Online orders can be placed via our website: http://croydon-school-uniform.square.site/ A complete list of available items and pricing is available on our webpage.
Second hand uniforms are also available for purchase through the uniform shop. Families are welcome to donate uniforms. These need to be in good condition and must be items previously purchased from the Croydon Public School uniform shop.
As a guide, summer uniform is worn during Terms 1 and 4. Winter uniform is worn during Terms 2 and 3.
Sports uniform is worn by all year groups on their allocated sports day. The sports day will be communicated by the class teacher. School bags and library bags are also available.
We endeavour to make purchasing uniforms easy and convenient, and we are happy to help with sizing. Payment is by credit card only.
The uniform shop is always looking for new volunteers, so if you have some free time on either a Tuesday or Thursday morning please email us at: croydonpublicschooluniforms@gmail.com
