Canteen News

We are excited to announce that the successful tender for the running of the school canteen has been given to The Blue Wren Cafe. Jenna Patterson is the face behind this exciting venture and we welcome Jenna and her team to St Xavier’s.

Over the next two to three weeks Jenna will be setting up, stocking and organising the Cafe for a start before the end of term.

During this period;

we will be providing lunches via QKR on certain days per week until all stock has been sold. At this stage the canteen will be open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next week for lunches only (no morning tea). It will be a limited menu on QKR.
we will not be providing morning tea.
TNT’s will be available for purchase at lunch time.

We will need some volunteers to prepare and pack lunches each day during this period. If you can help us out please call the Office. Our volunteers are very much appreciated and over the years I know many of you have really enjoyed your time in the Canteen.

Hair should be neat and tidy at all times and if long must be tied back using maroon, black, navy or white bands or ribbons. Students wearing incorrect bands or ribbons will be asked to attend the Office for a replacement. Extreme haircuts and mullet type hair cuts are not acceptable and best saved for holidays.

Jewellery

Students will be asked to remove incorrect jewellery and place it in a snap lock bag to take home.

Birthday Food

Please keep in mind we have children in every grade across the school who have particular food allergies. Some of these are very serious and we need to keep everyone safe. The best options for a class birthday treat at school are water icy poles or a lollipop per child. It is best to avoid cakes, muffins etc. We appreciate your support in this area.

School Fees

Fee instalments are due by the 21st of each month. If you have not paid your instalment, could you please do so now. If you have any queries or concerns, please contact Jeni Muller via email: jmuller4@arm.catholic.edu.au or phone 67421136.
