Not at all. Children who did not order on photo day will receive an order form which allows them to order photos after the photos have been delivered, at no extra cost.

Once a booking has been made things will go a little like this.

  1. We confirm your booking with a letter outlining the date and time of the agreed school photo shoot.
  2. Approximately 5 weeks before this agreed date we will send you pre-paid envelopes that will be handed to the students ready to be returned back to school with payment on the school photo day. We will also contact the nominated school office person in order to collect the student data details (Cases21, EDSA, Maze# or similar details).
  3. With 1 week out we will phone your photo co-ordinator to ensure all is on track and answer any questions that might need attention.
  4. Photo day we will arrive approx 30-40 minutes prior to the agreed time. This allows time for us to set up our studio.
  5. The photo schedule is set by the school. If you need help with this we will work on this prior to the day. On photo day we will work through the schedule, we photograph every student whether they are ordering or not.
  6. Once complete, we will go away and process the order. The finished product will be returned within 21 days – the photos will be presented in class lots for easy distribution. Those who ordered on photo day will receive their product and those who did not will receive an complimentary bookmark gift which allows them to place a follow up order with us directly if they wish.
  7. Parents are encouraged to contact us directly if they have any concerns from here on, so technically it’s back to normal for the school and we get to do it all again the next year.
  8.  

You can collect a spare envelope from your school office. If you wish to order online you can also ask your school office to reissue you with your child’s unique access key.

You can place an order online using either your child’s unique access key or via the school’s generic access key if they have chosen this path. Every school is different BUT check your school’s newsletter or notice board at the office.

Sometimes schools hand these out separately from the individual photos. Please check with the school office or class teacher.

Yes, please return your child’s envelope with the online order reference code clearly marked.

Your child will be allocated an access key via a slip of paper from the photographer or the school. If you have not received this key, please contact your school.  Using this access key, visit leadingimage.com.au and select “Order School Photos” and follow the prompts. You will not need to return anything to the school or photographer once you have completed your online order.

If you ordered online, please contact us for a full refund. If you paid in cash and returned it to the school, you will need to contact the school to have them return it to you.

Generally the answer is no and it is very rare for this to be done and it is always at the school’s request. The cost of this is at the parent’s expense and final vito is Leading Image.

Yes. But it is vital that both parents return an envelope to the school for each child.

We can not accept individual parent requests on name changes. We go strictly by what the school supplies and advises. We suggest that you contact the school and discuss the change with them and ask them to advise us.

Please note:

  • If the product has already been produced, any change is at your cost if it is approved by the school.
  • ALL changes are only accepted if they are issued by the school.

Place your order before photo day and your photos will be delivered in bulk to the school.

Please note:

  • If you are ordering via our 2nd chance system your order is handled individually and not in bulk and will be posted direct to your nominated address. This will add a postage and handling fee to your order.
  • If you are placing an online order for special groups, these will be mailed individually to your nominated address.
  • You can NOT collect your order from your local branch.

Postage Costs:

  • The postage cost is very minimal and we are mindful of ensuring this is not excessive. It is per order and not per item.
  • Factors in postage are: Post, handling/labour and packaging.
