Parents and Friends News
Dear families,
Welcome to Term 3, we hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!
This term we have teamed up with the North End Bakehouse to run a Pie Drive. Ask your friends, family and neighbours if they would like any tasty bakery items, including the award winning Vanilla Slice. See the below flyer for full details. Orders are to be made via CDF Pay.
We look forward to seeing members of our school community at the P&F Meeting on Wednesday 26 July from 2.30pm-3.15pm. We are starting the plan celebration for Father’s Day in September, along with the Father’s Day Stall. We welcome ideas for these events so please make contact if you have any!
World Grandparents Day Celebration
