Feel free to share your house link above with family and friends to help us reach our fundraising goal of $12,000. This year our fundraising will go to the school to improve the outdoor spaces at the school.

In addition to our fundraising we are also teaming up with Maroondah Council to plant 800 trees in Heathmont (near the Dandenong Creek).

The generous Dos Amigos Catering is also giving their time and profits, bringing their taco truck to the oval for a afternoon snack or a takeaway dinner. Please see menu below.

We also need volunteers on the day of so if you can set up and throw colour at the kids please let the PA know.

If you have any questions or would like to help on the day please see Elisa Gatti or Erin Vistarini.

Food and Casserole Bank

💚 F O O D + C A S S E R O L E B A N K 💚

Our wonderful Food + Casserole Bank is in need of donations!

For those who are new to the school, our food + casserole bank functions to help out families in our community who are going through a difficult time such as family illness, additional stressors or for families who need some extra support on a regular basis.

We are in need of the following:

Meals for our casserole bank. If you are interested in helping out as a once off or on a regular basis to make meals that are able to be frozen please let me know and I’ll send you some more info!

Grocery items- this can be anything with a long shelf life. Cereals and snacks for lunchboxes or items that can be put together for an easy dinner are some of the most helpful items.

Self Care items- toiletry items, etc.

If you are interested in cooking a meal or going in to a roster to donate neals throughout the year, please contact me either via messenger or 0425 114 866

If you are interested in donating items, these can be handed in to the office.

If you know of a family or if you are a family who could benefit from our food bank please let myself or Neil know.
