Are you interested in what we have been doing or have ideas that could help us improve sustainability in the school? All are welcome to attend!
- We are so lucky to have Carol, our very hard-working Operations Manager, oversee the Hub (tuckshop, uniform shop and book shop). Carol has been a key component of all P&C events for the past 5yrs!! Thank you, Carol, for all your hard work – we would be lost without you!
- We would also like to acknowledge and thank Kirsten who has been working in our Tuckshop for the past 1.5 years. She will sadly be finishing at the end of this term. Thank Kirsten for your time and expertise.
- The Father’s and Fella’s Day Stall was a huge success with almost $2000 raised for the school. Thank you to all our lovely volunteers and to Emily for co-ordinating and managing this event. We hope the recipients of the gifts enjoyed them as much as the children enjoyed shopping for them!
- A huge thank you to all of the volunteers that joined us for the greenhouse working bee on 30 August! The greenhouse renovations have been a massive undertaking 12 months in the making, and we are so happy with the results. We can't wait for next term when our little people will be able to start using the space for learning.
- When ordering tuckshop, please try to order your child’s second break food before school. A lot of orders are currently being placed during first break which is already busy time for our staff.
