Mother’s Day Stall - purchase now via CDF Pay

We have sourced items which we think make great gifts. The stall is also a fundraiser which will allow the P&F to put funds towards extra resources at school.
Items selected at random, colours/designs are not able to be chosen. Where multiple of the same item are ordered by the one family, different varieties will be selected.
