The school has worked with local and trusted company, EDSCO to bring our families reduced (under recommenced retail price) prices for 2021 student resource requirements. Resource requirements packs purchased through EDSCO's online ordering system have discounts applied directly to the amount parents are paying. It is the school's intention that no profit is made by the school nor the P&C Association, through this process.
Parents/carers can go online now to order and pay for 2021 student resource requirements packs by simply clicking on the link to EDSCO's book pack ordering system for schools below, entering The Gap State School and the year level, when prompted (hardcopy order forms can also be submitted, see details below):
https://bookpack.edsco.com.au/
Orders placed through EDSCO will be delivered to school, to the classrooms before the first day of school.
Orders for current families were due by Friday 27th November 2020. The order system will remain open into the new year for families who have missed this cut-off.
