RPS COOKBOOK
We do lots of things well, but our sense of community is pretty special, so what better way to celebrate community than through food!
Ripper Families is excited to roll out our RPS cookbook filled with our very own family recipes and artwork.
Here's what you need to know and do:
- Contribute one family recipe - can be sweet, savory, entrée, main or dessert.
- All recipes to include a drawing by your child/ren with the theme of food. (Please use the template attached, sample drawings also attached below. Copies will be available at the school office if needed.)
- Please follow all instructions for the drawing including the upload; no reflection or close proximity, etc.
- An image will be chosen for the front cover and chapter pages so be as creative as possible!
- Recipes and images need to be uploaded together on the google form below by the 11th of May. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdR8Tzbr5v98hnhBS6tlb0EhvklHw5HqcVKh3UEYQVrxrwm6g/viewform?usp=sf_link

SCHOLASTIC BOOK CLUB
Thank you to everyone who has supported Scholastic Book Club, we have had an amazing number of orders for each brochure.
We are looking for two interested volunteers to help us with Scholastic Book Club.
Full training will be given.
1. Someone to date stamp the brochures and pop into the teachers pigeonholes. This does not need to be done onsite, so you can take them home and bring them back. There are only two brochures each term, so that is eight for the year.
2. Someone to help distribute the orders to the classrooms, once the orders are sorted and labelled with each child's name. This usually takes an hour for each brochure and there are only two brochures each term, eight for the year.
If you are able to help out, please email ripponlea.ps@education.vic.gov.au
UNIFORM SHOP
The uniform shop is open every Friday morning from 9:00am - 9:30am. Don't forget about the $2 second hand deals that are available.
