Student Birthdays
Childhood food allergies are on the rise. We ask children to not share food items, as some items may have a trace of an allergen. For birthday celebrations we ask that only Lolly bags that contain wrapped lollies may be distributed at the end of the day for parent discretion. Cakes are unable to be shared at school to ensure safety for all.
Bunnings BBQ
We are excited to be holding a St Gabriel's & St Stephen's Bunnings BBQ on July 23rd 2023 at the Thomastown location, 11 Dalton Rd, Thomastown VIC 3074. We would love some parent helpers who would be available for an hour or two between 9:00 am - 4:00 pm to come along and have some fun helping us with cooking, handing out drinks and taking orders.
If you would like to help out with this Bunnings BBQ, please complete the below form and we will contact you with further details early next term.
If you have any questions please email Laura V at laverna@sgreservoir.catholic.edu.au

BRINGING DEVICES TO SCHOOL
Student’s Smart devices (watches, phones , iPads etc) must not be brought to classes, meetings, assemblies, excursions, camps or similar as we promote children accessing Educator’s support whilst at school. We ask that children hand in their device to our office staff for safekeeping and are collected at the end of the day. Smart watches need to be set in school mode during school hours.
