Dates for the fridge
2025 Term 1 Working Bee 1st March 3pm-5pm
Please come along to our next Working Bee. Before the date, a job sheet will be put up online and you will be able to see what needs to be done and where you can sign on.
We are hoping that lots of parents will sign on. Children helpers receive 50 house points and we are considering putting on a sausage sizzle.
