Canteen News
Thank you for supporting our school canteen. The canteen provides an excellent service, and I am pleased to see that sales are steady. Parents are reminded that Pre-Primary students may order recess from the canteen on Tuesday and Friday.
I know many of our students lament the loss of the Yummy Drummies from the canteen menu. Unfortunately, Yummy Drummies are no longer available from our supplier. Mrs Honter is looking into alternatives.
Derby Day is on Friday 12th August. The canteen will be running a special and pre-orders are required. Please pick up an order form from the office if you have not received one.

The sausage sizzle is a significant fundraiser in the calendar and its success relies on assistance from our parents. Please consider volunteering to help out at the sausage sizzle for a few hours. A roster will soon be shared with parents, and I encourage you to help out. It is always good fun and a great opportunity to meet other parents.
