Sock It to the Can
Our 2023 Winter Appeal is underway. Families are asked to donate non-perishable food items and winter woolies such as new warm socks, for members of our local community. Items can be placed in the collection bag in your child's TA space at school.
Canteen Ordering
The canteen has now transitioned to online only lunch orders via the Flexischools App. Paper-bag style lunch orders are no longer available.
Details on how to download the app, register and order can be found in the graphics below.
For eligible year levels, a variety of hot and cold meals are available for purchase from the bain marie if an online lunch order is not submitted by the 9.30am cutoff. However it is best to order through the app to ensure your child does not miss out.
Cash or eftpos facilities are available for bain marie purchases.
As per the existing canteen procedures, students from F-4 are not able to purchase directly from the canteen. All items for these students must be ordered via the Flexischools app.
