Lockers

We have a limited number of lockable lockers available to students for a yearly rental.

Students will need to provide their own sturdy padlock with a shank diameter that is between 5mm and 8mm (no bigger than 8mm). 

These lockers are available in two sizes:

  • Large 900 mm x 450 mm x 375 mm $55.00
  • Small 450 mm x 450 mm x 375 mm $30.00

Large lockers are generally reserved for students with sports equipment.

The lockers do not have shelves, therefore are unsuitable for students to share.

Year 9 students usually only require a small locker.

Please return a locker form and payment directly to the Finance Centre before 20 January 2026.

This is a yearly rental, please ensure the locker is cleared out and the lock removed at the end of Term 4.
