AROUND THE COLLEGE

Students at WHC are encouraged to ‘Call Out’ poor behaviours they may be exposed to, witness, or hear of in our community.

Students are encouraged to email their Year Level address, where concerns will be resolved.

Canteen Orders

A reminder that the Canteen is ORDER ONLY for all main food items, such as salad rolls, sausage rolls, schnitzel burgers etc. The first 10 minutes of recess and lunch will be allocated to collection of food orders only. The canteen will then be open for any additional purchases of drinks and ice creams (Term 1 & 4).  

*REMEMBER to order before 8.15am on the QKR! app or at the canteen before 8.45am

The canteen will remain open until end of term to cater for our Year 7-9's. Keep your eye on QKR! as we will be running a modified menu as we reduce our stock levels.

Many thanks,

Lee and Lisa. 😊
