AROUND THE COLLEGE

Students at WHC are encouraged to ‘Call Out’ poor behaviours they may be exposed to, witness, or hear of in our community.

If you hear something that is not right, or feel uncomfortable in our community, we want to hear from you!

Students are encouraged to email their Year Level address, where concerns will be resolved.

Canteen

CANTEEN UPDATE

Please note there will be some changes to the Canteen Menu over the coming weeks due to the lack of availability of eggs. Unfortunately, we will have to remove some menu items until supply issues are resolved. 😊

FRIDAY ORDERING – As the student numbers are increasing, our canteen app is sometimes a bit overwhelmed on a Friday.  If you are having trouble getting through on the app please have your child come to the canteen to order before class (they can pay with their phone before class) OR give us a call and we can take your order and payment over the phone. 😊

Have a wonderful long weekend. 😊😊  Lee, Lisa and Drew

*REMEMBER to order before 8.15am on the QKR! app or at the canteen before 8.45am
