The whole school will have their class/individual photos taken on Thursday 13th August. Your child/ren should have received a Scott Photographers order envelope. If you would like to order a class/individual photo, you can do this by:

  • Envelope: (one envelope per student) Complete all the student details, enclose cash or cheque payable to L C Scott Ltd + 30 cents cheque fee (if applicable) and a phone number on the back of the cheque. Return the envelope BEFORE photo day.
    (Please ensure you have the correct cash enclosed. No change will be given).
  • Online: (If paying online DO NOT return the envelope). Go to www.lcscott.co.nz, select order online, follow the order instructions and pay using internet banking (POLi) or credit/debit card BEFORE Photo Day.

All students present will be included in class photographs and also photographed individually regardless of whether they have returned payment envelopes or not. Students will be issued with an internet access key on photo day, to enable all parents’ access to online viewing of the photographs and to allow online ordering after photo day for those that have not pre-ordered.
