 News from the Chicken Coop

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

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

Some sad news…

One of our chickens, Princess Lay-a, has not been well for some time. She is now at peace in the great chicken coop in the sky.

Chicken Duty Roster

Thank you to all of our amazing families who have volunteered to do weekend chicken duty this term. We still have a couple of weekends available this term that we need to fill, 22/23 November and 13/14 December.

An information sheet will be provided with all the details prior to your duty, it’s easy and fun for the whole family!  If you would like to put your name on the roster please email Mel at mkerwin@sjmitcham.catholic.edu.au with your preferred dates. First in, first choice of dates!

NEW! Fresh Extra Large Free-Range Eggs for sale

Get yours next Monday

You can purchase our fresh free range eggs for only $5 for ½ dozen. They will be available to purchase in passive play before and after our school assembly on Monday. But be quick as they sell out very quickly!

Delicious lemons and limes from our fruit trees are also for sale-50c each or 3 for $1.

We are also selling our organic 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.

St John’s students love having the chickens at school. All the money we make is put back into buying food and other necessities for them.

Gardening with Jan!

Jan and the gardening club have been very busy already this term.

They have been busy weeding and planting even more vegetables and herbs in the garden. Jan and the gardening club continue to meet at lunchtimes on Thursdays.
