Burrendah Chinese Garden Renovations

We are looking to renovate our small Chinese pavilion behind the canteen. It is looking sad and not very Chinese, at the moment. We are looking for parents and even grandparents who can help us plan and execute this project after the Chinese New Year in 2024. As you can see below, we really need your help.

Please join us for a meeting in Room 20 on Thursday, November 23rd at 2:00 pm to start our discussions.

We need a team willing to work to get this done together. If you cannot attend the meeting due to work commitments, please send us an email to register your interest in being part of this team that will improve an important corner of our school.

We need:

Artists

Handy people

Gardeners

and your ideas.

Come all and help us get this project plan started.

Together we can make things happen.

Dental Therapy Centre

Throughout Western Australia, the School Dental Service provides free general and preventive dental care for school-age children from Pre-Primary to Year 11 (or before 17 years of age) who have completed a dental enrolment form. Children from our school can access this service through the Willetton Dental Therapy Centre, situated in the Willetton Primary School. If you prefer, children transferring to our school are able to continue to access dental care through their previous Dental Therapy Centre. Please notify your Dental Centre of your change in school and update your contact details. As appointments are often posted to your home, it’s important to notify the Centre of any change to your postal address or contact details. Willetton Dental Therapy Centre can be contacted at 9457 4624.
