Honey, honey, honey

Thanks to Henry from Backyard Honey (who look after our school bees), we have our harvested honey ready for the kitchen garden! At the end of last year, Henry dropped by to harvest the honey. We just got our honey delivered to us - what a sweet back to school surprise!

Project Stationery

We have a collection of stationery items that will be donated to Project Stationery just behind the Year 6 red door (next to the library). Our ASPS final collection date will be Friday 16th Feb. 

They will take new and used eg. partially used exercise books (just rip off used pages). Alternatively, you can drop them off in Alphington on Wednesday and Sundays - for more information:

Book Donations to New School

The left over books from our second hand book store have found a new home at Warreen Primary School, a new school in Truganina. Amanda Elmer, the principal of Warreen PS is a former ASPS teacher!

Some of the books also went into our school library and classroom libraries. Thank you for all your donations last year.

Recycle Right

A reminder that we have our recycling station set up outside the staffroom. Thanks to Ms Smith for previously housing them in the art room.

Remember the first R is to REDUCE, so let's try to reduce our use!
