Spring flower fundraiser

Fill your garden with spring colour! 

The PFA has teamed up with Tesselaar for a bulb fundraiser - just place your order using the special link and the school will receive 40% of the proceeds. Order link: www.bulbfundraiser.com.au/WOODENDPS

 

Orders close on Thursday 28 March, and bulbs will be sent out as soon as orders are received. 

(If you'd prefer to look through a paper catalogue, there are a few available at the school office.)

 

Welcome to School picnic

The school will host an open afternoon on Friday 1st March (for more details, see the Principal’s page), after which there will be a picnic/gathering on the school oval. PFA will have frozen treats for sale (bring gold coins!). Bring a blanket and some snacks, and meet WPS families. It looks like it may even be a pleasant day!
