MANGO DRIVE

Dear Parents,

After a bumper crop this year we are again hoping to run The Mango Fundraiser! The mangoes variety on offer is the delicious Kensington Pride.  The fruit is coming directly from the farm in Queensland to you. They are packed in a single layer tray and each tray will usually have between 15 and 18 mangoes, (dependant on size) with a total tray weight of approximately 7kg! The mangoes aren’t being held for long periods in storage or ripening rooms. Mangoes are picked at the optimum harvest time so that as they ripen, they reach their full flavour. They also freeze well for use in smoothies. Please ensure to complete the mango Operoo expression of interest form. Indicate your interest and how many boxes you would like to order.

Payment will be required to the office once we confirm we can place our final order.
