We DO need assistance from parents to have a P&C group. Meetings are for 1 hour (respectfully due to parent commitments), on the third Tuesday of each month, to enable parents and carers to take part but not be consumed with time consuming, onerous tasks. The work the P&C do is very much appreciated as it keeps our school humming with fundraising, enabling special equipment/resources to be purchased. P&C is a shared roll with the staff and students at the school. It is not left up to just a few people to do all the work. We would LOVE some new parents and carers to be involved and join us for our first meeting. Everyone is welcome, parents, carers, grandparents, friends. Please come! If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to come in and speak with me. My door is always open. Have a great week.

CANTEEN
Be Respectful Be Responsible Be Safe
It has been lovely meeting some of our new Kinder students and their buddies at the Canteen counter this past week. With all this hot weather, remember Kindies that you have a free 40c icy-pole voucher in the Orientation pack you received last year! To make life a little easier this term for our Kindies, the canteen helpers will be sending any Kinder drinks ordered for lunch down to the classroom with their Lunch Basket. This is only for this term as next term it will revert to our normal method of delivery which entails children showing their lunch bag at the canteen to collect any cold food or drinks. New Product! This week the kids have been enjoying taste testing the new Sweet & Salty Popcorn which is available for $1. Normal Butter Popcorn is also available. Thank you to our team of dedicated parents & friends who have again offered to volunteer with us this year. My thanks also to the new parents that have raised their hand to be part of our dedicated team. Your help is truly valued and appreciated by myself, the school and the P & C Association.
