School Lunches – Monday and Thursday through Quickcliq.com.au

The last day for School Lunches for 2022 is Thursday 15th December.

Lunches need to be ordered online through the website www.quickcliq.com.au. Please note: sauce is provided in each classroom, and you cannot specify which colour donut. Some days, not all items are available or sell out quickly. We recommend to try and order as early as possible, with orders closing at 8.15am on the day of delivery. Please update your child’s profile to reflect the correct teacher and room (this saves a lot of time when the caterers are distributing the lunches into the classroom containers).

The PFA would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday break. Thank you all for your support throughout the year. See you all in 2023!
