Before your child can start with us, they'll need some school uniform!
Our school uniform is provided by the team at the Niddrie PSW uniform shop. You can browse their online store, and see all store details at the link below.
Note: All school uniform items bearing the official school logo can be purchased through PSW. This includes items such as shirts, jackets, and other branded garments. For uniform items that do not require the school logo, such as pants, these may be purchased either from PSW or from other retailers. However, please ensure that these items are navy blue in colour to meet the school’s uniform requirements.
If you need Outside School Hours Care for your child, you can register with our onsite provider TeamKids.
TeamKids operates from our school gymnasium, and can be accessed through our McCulloch Street Oval Gate (next to the gym).

Now that you're enrolled, would you have some free time to volunteer with us? We're often looking for parent and carer help!
We often need volunteers to help with reading in the classroom, excursions, or our community events. Please ask your child's teacher or our wonderful office staff, and we will let you know where extra help is required.
The Department (which includes our school) does not have personal accident insurance for students.
If a student is injured at school or while participating in a school activity (including offsite) and requires medical treatment, parents/carers are responsible for all of their child’s medical expenses. This includes transport costs such as ambulance costs (which may include an air ambulance if considered necessary).
The Department (which includes our school) does not have personal property insurance for staff and/or students.
Items of personal property that are lost, stolen or damaged at school or during school excursions are not the responsibility of Essendon North Primary School or the Department. Staff and students are reminded not to bring items of value to school or on school excursions.
Essendon North Primary School encourages parents/carers to consider obtaining their own accident insurance for students and property of value that may be brought to school.
