Parents and Friends
Dear families,
Zooper Doopers have been popular with the warm weather! Please try to send coins with your children if possible.
Pre-orders for the Recipe Book have now closed but don’t worry once books are received from the Printer's, they will be available to purchase from the School Office.
Don’t miss out on getting a copy of the Recipe Book and even one to gift! See below for the front cover reveal!
Please contact us by email at parentsandfriends@sbshepparton.vic.gov.au if you have any questions about P&F activities.

St Brendan’s School Recipe Book – front cover reveal!
The Parents and Friends are pleased to reveal the final front cover for the St Brendan’s Primary School Recipe Book.
The front cover includes artwork from Ivy (Grade 5), Leo (Foundation), Nyageng (Grade 5) and Thinuga (Grade 1). These students will receive a cover of the 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. The Recipe Book would make a great gift or keepsake for those in the school community. This fundraiser helps support projects at the school.
Families who pre-ordered a copy of the Recipe Book will have these sent home with students once they are received from the printers. Once Recipe Books are received from the Printer's, they will be available for sale from the School Office.
Thank you to Prominent Group for their support with this project.
