School orders during holiday periods

Orders that are to be sent to school addresses will be held during term breaks / end of year. The table below highlights the cut off dates for orders for your region. If your order is received after the 'Order submission deadline', your order will be prepared during the break period and then dispatched so that it arrives to your school address at the very start of the new term.
