Who is running the canteen in 2021?
Fresh Start Canteens will begin the new canteen service on 1 February 2021. They are very keen to work with the school to provide the canteen service for parents and students.
The school is very grateful for the wonderful support of the P&F in coordinating the canteen over many years. An extraordinary number of volunteers have given of their time and have successfully provided the service. We particularly thank those who have taken on the role of coordinator and the additional work this has entailed. Thank you!

Collins Online Book Fair
We would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to the families who supported our school library through the recent Online Book Fair organised with Collins Booksellers at Thirroul. Your generosity is gratefully appreciated by staff and children alike. Our library has gained new quality books which will be enjoyed by many. These books have all now been accessioned and loaned out to those who donated them to read first.
Praise also goes to the staff at Collins who went to great lengths to help make this online experience a success.
Happy reading everyone.
