Please note that the canteen will be unavailable at Cook Oval. However, the St Joseph's P & F has organised with Palmer's Market for families to pre-order lunch, via an order form, and collect at the P & F lunch table between 11:30 am - 12 pm. The distribution of orders is the responsibility of the parent/carer attending the event, and it is not a school canteen order. Pre-orders close at 3 pm this Monday, 24 July. All order forms are to be returned and paid at Palmer's Market prior to cut-off.
A coffee van will also be available on the day. Further information regarding this will be communicated next week.
For further information and to accept/deny the event, access the Events page via your child’s profile on the Compass app, or, alternatively, go to https://stjosephsweewaa-nsw.compass.education/Organise/Activities/Events/ as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
