Canteen
Just a reminder that the P&C operated canteen is now closed every Tuesday. Please ensure that your child has their lunch packed on this day, as there will be no service available to purchase orders. Volunteers are urgently needed on the other days the canteen is open. If you have an hour or two to help in the canteen, all offers of help will be greatly appreciated. Students love to see their parents, carers or grandparents helping out in the school. So don’t be shy! P&C
A big thank you to the P&C Committee who recently ran a Pie Drive and the Father’s Day stall. Both fundraising events were a great success and I thank them for their tireless efforts in supporting our school. Thank you also to the many students, parents, carers and teachers who supported both events. School Security With school holidays fast approaching, we are asking the school community to be aware of any suspicious activity.
