New timetable for Semester 2

Our semester two timetable will begin the first day of term 3.  There have been a number of changes, particularly for students in years 7 to 10. I would ask you all the check Xuno before starting back next term.

Changes to Lunch Orders

Thank you to Glenda and Brad at Spud’s Café for providing our weekly lunch orders for the last few years.  They have decided to step away from this from the end of Term 2.

From the start of Term 3 you will be able to place your lunch order from the Harvest Café Lunch Order Menu, a copy of which appears in this newsletter on the Information and Downloads page. 

Harvest Café will supply lunch orders on a Wednesday only and the ordering system remains much the same.  Please pop your order with your name, items required and correct money in an envelope at the main office before 9.30am on a Wednesday morning. Lunch orders will be delivered to the school. 

The lunch order menu offered by Harvest Café has a number of options from sandwiches/roll/wraps to small pizzas, pies, sausage rolls and hot chips.  There is hopefully something there to appeal to everyone.

No off menu ordering will be allowed, and your order should include the correct money as change cannot be given. 

Thank you to the Harvest Café team for offering to take up the provision of lunch orders from the start of Term 3.
