St Brendan’s School Recipe Book
Pre-orders now open!
The Parents and Friends are pleased to offer pre-orders for the St Brendan’s Primary School Recipe Book.
We are grateful to families in our school community who have shared recipes to make a very special Recipe Book. The book is being finalised and will showcase our vibrant, multicultural community.
The book will include:
- Over 70 recipes
- Family favourite recipes
- Variety of recipes – main dishes, side dishes, desserts, baking
- Diverse cuisine – Indian, Vietnamese, Filipino, Croatian, Dutch, Indonesian, South Sudanese, Italian among others!
Student artwork and photos feature throughout the book, with some special artwork to be included on the book cover.
The Recipe Book would make a great gift or keepsake for those in the school community.
This fundraiser will help support projects at the school.
Pre-orders will help guide how many books will be printed. Books will be sent home with students in November. There will still be books available for sale following the pre-order.
Thank you to Prominent Group for their support with this project.
Place your order via CDF Pay app by 5pm on Wednesday 28 October 2026
Orders will be sent home with students from November 2026.
Keep an eye on the calendar in the Simon app - events are also added in here

We hope the students enjoyed the donuts during Term 3 and 4. In Term 4 we will be back selling Zooper Doopers each Friday.
