School and Kindergarten Parents and Friends Association Meeting

The next PFA meeting General Meeting will be held on Thursday 10th February (tomorrow) at 9am in the Davey Building Conference Room (school administration building).   This is a great opportunity to meet new parents, staff and a place where you can share your ideas for fundraising and how you would like to see the money raised to be spent on your children.  All parents are encouraged to attend and toddlers are welcome. Please note due to covid regulations, you do need to be double-vaxed or be able to show proof of exemption.

Barista Course

Would you like to learn a new skill and be part of the Parents and Friends Association? The PFA is offering all current and new PFA members the opportunity to undertake a barista course.  This will give you the chance to learn or fine tune those skills you have and provide back to the community when we open the café. Please come along to the meeting, tomorrow Thursday 10th February, 9am in the Davey building. If you cannot make the meeting but would like to be involved in the PFA and take part in the barista course, please contact the office. 

Secondhand Uniform Shop

The secondhand uniform shop will be open weekly this term on a Friday afternoon from 2.45pm in the Brady Building Library.  Gold coin donation per item please.  If you have any uniform items that are in good condition, you are welcome to bring these along on Friday afternoon or can be dropped into the school administration office any time. 

School Lunches – Monday and Thursday through Quickcliq.com.au 

School lunches will be starting from Monday 7th February. Lunches need to be ordered online through the website www.quickcliq.com.au.  Please note: Sauce is provided in each classroom, and you cannot specify which colour donut.  Some days, not all items are available or sell out quickly.  We recommend to try and order as early as possible, with orders closing at 8.30am on the day of delivery. 

Please update your child’s profile to reflect the correct teacher and room (this saves a lot of time when the caterers are distributing the lunches into the classroom containers).
