- Place your order before 5 March 2021 to avoid any late fees
- Ordering online using your child's Unique Shoot Key (on their envelope) is the easiest, safest and most secure way to order. If you don't know their Unique Shoot Key please contact MSP on 07 5668 9110.

- All students whether ordering photos or not, need to hand in their photo envolope to the photographer on photo day. This is how your student is identified to the photographer.

We invite all students, staff and the local community to bring along and donate their recyclable containers to the PBC Sustainability Program. All money raised through the container recycling program will go towards student-led eco projects.
Students are also encouraged to dispose of their eligible containers during school into the blue bins provided so that they can be collected for recycling.

If you are unable to get to the oval for drop off on any Wednesday you can still donate your container funds to PBC student-led projects by dropping your containers off to any deposit centre and using the code #C10051453.
