Bunnings Sausage Sizzle – Sunday 31st October

This Sunday 31st October, we have our Bunnings Sausage Sizzle at the Creswick Road store. Thank you to everyone who put their name down to volunteer, please see the roster below. If you are unable to make it please let the school know ASAP. Also with the new restrictions, everyone who helps out with the Sausage Sizzle needs to have had at least one Covid vaccination, please let the school know ASAP if you don't meet this criteria.

Bunnings also requires that everyone needs to wear a mask (unless exempt) and an apron. We do have a few aprons available but if you could bring your own that would be helpful.

Please spread the word to friends and family to come grab a sausage on Sunday and help raise funds for your school and kinder community!

SANTA’S COVID CHRISTMAS – A Keepsake of the Year, 2020

Judy Martin of Lexton wrote this beautiful children’s Christmas book as a keepsake of how the world was impacted during Covid-19 in 2020. The illustrations inside the book were all done by a local artist and past Waubra Primary School student, 14 year old Ballarat High School student Roza Mac who made Judy’s story come to life! Judy and Roza are proud to offer this book to our community as a fundraiser.

All orders and monies need to be returned to the office by Friday 26th November. Books will be delivered by week 10.
