Extend at MWPS: After School Care

Lunch Orders

Our canteen is open daily at recesses and lunchtimes and provides a range of everyday food options for all students. The menu is updated regularly. When ordering lunch orders from the canteen, please write your child’s name and grade clearly on a lunch bag.

Uniform

All students are required to wear the prescribed school uniform of Melton West Primary School. The school uniform is available for purchase at Lowes at Woodgrove Shopping Centre.

Sunsmart Hats (broad-brimmed or bucket) are a compulsory part of the school uniform. They must be worn during Terms 1 and 4 while students are outside, including all physical education activities and excursions.
