News from the Chicken Coop

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Thanks to the wonderful Dennis and Campbell families for taking such great care of our school chickens the last few weekends. We hope you got lots of eggs and baked lots of delicious goodies with them, yum!

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to do chicken duty this term.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You will receive a reminder email with all the details a couple of days before your weekend. Don’t forget to send in any photos that you take with the chickens or of something delicious you’ve made with the fresh eggs.

Egg Lotto -$2 per ticket

For your chance to win 1 dozen eggs just buy an egg lotto ticket. Tickets are only $2 each! The next Egg Lotto draw will be Monday 26th May.

We usually sell tickets Wednesday afternoons from 3:10-3:20pm out the front of the school or in the passive play area. We  sell tickets to students, parents, grandparents and carers. Tickets are also available to buy at any time, just bring your money into school and ask at the school office.

All the money we make is put back into buying food and other necessities for our chickens. There will be a few dozen eggs available to win so get your winning $2 raffle ticket soon!

We also sell our worm juice which is a wonderful fertiliser for your garden. It is collected fresh from our worm farms here at school! Buy a bottle for only $2 this week.

Lemons and limes from our fruit trees are also for sale. 

Did you Know?…

When the flu vaccines are made, the virus is grown in the yolk of fertilised hens eggs. Egg-based manufacturing of influenza vaccination is the most common method and has been used for more than 70 years.

Thanks for your support,
