Yes, it's that time of the year again when we have to dig out last year's muddy rugby boots only to find that they are too small, organise the last minute haircut and try and find that missing jumper that might be lurking at the bottom of the well worn school bag. Whilst you are discarding the crumpled pieces of paper and discovering certificates and invitations that are a pleasant (or belated) surprise, you may be wanting to draw up a shopping list. I have added the school requirements below to help you with this task.Pencil Case Checklist

Please note: re: Cricket - Boys - Yrs 2 - 6
1. Boys are not expected to have cricket whites unless they play for the school team.
2. It is a national requirement for boys (J5 & J6) to wear helmets when batting using a hard ball in cricket. We will provide helmets but you may prefer your son to have his own.
3. A box for J5 & J6 is vital equipment however. This should be worn in a proper box ‘strap’ or ‘box’ pants, or between two pairs of briefs.
