Food Hampers

Thanks to Foodbank and local businesses who'd donated produce, we were able to provide over 20 food hampers to families in preparation for evacuating before our high-risk fire days. We have put in additional orders for food hampers and other resources from Foodbank, so we can provide families with more support if needed.

If you would like to request a food hamper for your family (and it's completely OK if you've previously received one), please message Mr Shuttleworth on Xuno or use the following link: https://forms.gle/NZEuFSXvxgawbadX9

Are you getting enough sleep?

It turns out that only 38% of our Year 5/6 students think they are (based on their weekly Wellbeing check-ins). Here's some information on how to improve your sleep habits:
