Canteen
The Parents and Friends Association runs the canteen service, following a healthy food plan. Our onsite canteen operates every Friday for lunch and over-the-counter sales and Thursday for recess snacks.
Our canteen can only operate with the help of our wonderful volunteers. If you can spare some time on a Friday morning, please contact Mary.
Orders must be placed by Thursday at 11AM through the office, or online by 3PM.
To cancel a lunch order, please contact Mary Piltz by 9:30 AM on Friday.

Lost & Found
Friendly Reminder with the Weather Changing 🌦️
As the cooler weather sets in, it’s a great time to check that your child’s school jumper or rugby top has the correct name on it. When the bell rings, it’s easy for kids to grab the nearest top and head off—these mix-ups happen all the time!
If your child brings home the wrong item by mistake, there’s absolutely no shame in returning it to the school office. Thanks for helping us return lost items to the correct person.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
If you would like to be added to our roster of volunteers, please come along Friday and see one of the beautiful baristas or contact the school office.
It’s a fantastic way to get to know families, learn a new skill and it’s easy peasy…
A shift goes from 8.30am-10ish. One shift a term would be an amazing commitment to our school community and take the pressure off those already volunteering.
Fresh Fruit Fridays - McKern Steel Foundation
St Therese's is most fortunate to participate in the Fresh Fruit Friday program.
Thank you to our school dad, Chris Malone (Max & Layla) of Adroit Insurance & Risk, who kindly nominated St Therese’s School.
