Harmony Day- March 17 

The P & F were delighted to provide the students with an ice cream treat to celebrate Harmony Day. Thank you to Sonia for coordinating this event and donating all the sprinkles. Thank you also to Malissa, Patricia and Randa for helping on the day.

Ride to School- March 21

The rain held off and made it possible for the students to walk, ride, scoot (while some parents jogged 😄.

Thank you to Kathryn for cutting up all the oranges and to Bianca and Delia for handing the oranges out to students as they arrived at school. The wonderful SRC leaders made sure that the bikes and scooters were stored away and gave out raffle tickets for prizes.

Burger Day- 26 March

We held our very first hot food day this week with Andy and Rosie cooking up yummy burgers for the students. Thank you to Nicole, Emily, Clare, Ed and Kathryn for helping out on the day.

We understand that sometimes navigating apps and purchases online can sometimes be tricky. Please make sure you order WELL before the closing dates/times as it makes it easier to assist you if you have difficulties. 

Easter Raffle- April 4 

Will now be drawn at our St. Mary’s Easter Parade.Thank you to Simone for coordinating this event, we do need more donations for the raffle prize so please send an item into the office if you can.

ALL proceeds of the raffle will be donated to the Royal Children’s Hospital for the GOOD FRIDAY APPEAL.

NO physical tickets will be sent home! 

 Details are on the flyer below.

Special Food Days

These days are fully run by our parent volunteers. They organise costing, calculate

orders, calculate shopping items, shop, sort, cook, serve and clean up. Everyone ordering by the cut off dates eases our workload. 

Please look out for reminders as we send out many both in the newsletter and in the WhatApp groups. 

As a parent group, we are not allowed to provide children with food who haven’t placed an order as in some cases this is the parent’s choice. 

If you haven’t yet helped out at a food day, come and join us, it’s fun and rewarding, the children are so excited and grateful. 

Uniform Stall-

There will be a uniform stall set up at the ‘End of Term Market’ which is an event run by the school staff and students. Information about this will be sent by the school.
