Sausage Sizzle: special lunch day

On Tuesday 5th March our PPA (Parkdale Parent’s Association) are running a special lunch day for students – a sausage sizzle lunch.

 

Students who would like a sausage in bread for lunch on this day will need to pre-order through Qkr!

 

Cost: $2.50

Cut-off date for orders:  Sunday 3rd March (midnight)

Options: BBQ sausage (beef) or Vegetarian sausage

Orders are limited to one sausage per child.

 

All sausages are gluten free, if your child cannot eat standard bread, they can either bring along a slice of their own GF bread, or just have the sausage on its own in a serviette.  If this is the option you would like to pursue, please enter the information in the 'ADD NOTE TO ORDER' field in Qkr!

 

Any funds raised from this special lunch day will be used to purchase indigenous artwork for the front of the school.  Thank you to the members of the PPA who have organised this event and who will be cooking all the sausages on the day.

 

Second hand uniform 

On Friday 15th March between 2.45pm and 3.30pm the PPA will run our first Second Hand Uniform Sale for the year in the Gym Foyer. Stock up on a great range of uniform clothing, save on landfill and support the school. Both EFTPOS and cash accepted.  Items are priced from $2 to $15 with most at $5.

Families wishing to donate can drop clean, wearable, uniform (with school logo) to the School Office.  Thank you for your continued support.
