Text books are issued by the class teacher.  Should any of these be lost or damaged, parents are expected to replace them. Exercise books and stationery are ordered in the fourth term every year.  These orders will stay at school to be handed out at the beginning of the New Year.    The cost of the stationary is built in to the school fees.
