Wominjeka Picnic is Tomorrow - Tuesday 21 February! 

What is it? A relaxed school community picnic to kick off the year, with an Acknowledgement of Country by a Wurundjeri Elder. 

What time? The picnic will be from 5-7pm, with the Acknowledgment of Country planned for 5:30pm 

What should I bring? Bring a picnic rug or chairs, plus a picnic dinner for your family (or get together with a group to share a picnic) 

Can I buy extra snacks or drinks? We will be making and selling pizza slices and selling popcorn and flavoured mineral water. There won’t be enough for dinner, but enough to get a “taste” of some of the good things about BNWPS! 

Can I help out? Yes, please! We still need people to popcorn, sell drinks, cook pizza 6-7pm and help pack up. Click this link to put your name down, or grab a friend and do it together! 

Should I leave my rubbish and belongings lying around the school grounds? NO!!! Before you leave, please check if you or those around you may have left anything on the ground and pick it up! 

Volunteer!
