Additional requirements:

Below is a grade specific list of requirements not included on the 2025 starter stationery pack list:

  • Earphones to fit into a bank bag (must be clearly marked): – For use with iPads as required as school does not supply for health reasons. These need to be at school every day.
  • 2 Large boxes of tissues (200s)
  • Plastic for the covering of books to be kept at home.
  • Clear plastic file organiser. Your child may use their organiser from Gr5 should it still be in good condition.
  • Afrikaans / English dictionary. Pharos Bilingual School Dictionary. (Orange Cover) ISBN Number: 978-1-86890-229-3. We understand that this is an expensive item, however it will be used extensively into high school. If your child already has an Afr/ Eng dictionary, they may use the one they have.

Homework book and uniform:

Please do not purchase your own homework diary as we prefer all children to have a standard homework book. This will be given to your child on the first day of school.

Please ensure that your child’s uniform and Physical Education clothes are complete and in good order for the new year. Each item of clothing must be clearly marked.

While 2023 & 2024 were years of transition for certain items, all transitions have now been completed. The published uniform and appearance policy will be strictly enforced from the first day of school in 2025.

Please refer to our school’s website www.edgemeadprimary.co.za with regards to uniform requirements.

We are looking forward to a successful 2025 and wish you a safe and relaxing festive season with your children.

Yours sincerely,

Grade 6 Teachers
