Parents & Friends

SPECIAL LUNCH DAY

Our Parents and Friends have organised another Fundraiser Special Treat Day.  The Cheer Cheese Toastie Truck will be onsite at St John’s on Friday 29th May.   Students can pre order toasted cheese sandwiches for $4:00 per Toastie.  Gluten free bread, plant based cheese and non-dairy spread options will be available.  Orders open later this week once children receive a Pre Order Envelope.  Parents are asked to complete the front of the envelope and seal the payment inside. Any parents available to help on the day, please contact the office or a member of the Parents and Friends Committee.

MOTHER’S DAY STALL

Last week on Friday 8th May the students visited our Mother’s Day stall to make their purchases.  Thank you to our Parents & Friends Committee for sourcing and preparing all of this year’s gifts. Thank you also to our Year 6 Leaders who helped the mums run the stall on the day.  As you can see from the photo, the students were very excited with their purchases.

ST JOHN’S SCHOOL COOKBOOK

St John the Apostle Catholic school is a multicultural community which we celebrate each  November, as part of our Cultural Week activities.  This year as part of Cultural Week, the school’s Parents and Friends Association aims to release a School Cookbook which celebrates the diversity of our community.

We are inviting interested families to submit their special cultural or family recipes to be added to this collection.

For full notes and tips on submitting your recipe, please refer to the accompanying “Handy Tips” sheet.  Please note that while we truly appreciate every recipe submission, not all entries may be included in the final book. Selection will be based on a range of factors such as suitability, originality and overall fit with the collection.   If we receive multiple versions of a popular dish, we may contact you via email to request an alternative. 

Your email will not be published. Recipes are required by Friday the 31st July to be included in the book.  If you have any questions, please contact the Parents and Friends Committee at pandf@stjatarneit.catholic.edu.au
