Get to the Point End of Year Trophies Senior Citizens Performance and Afternoon Tea On Monday the 4th of November a group of students are heading to the Bowling Club to perform for the Pleasant Point Senior Citizens Friendship Group. As a part of this performance we are preparing afternoon tea for the group and would appreciate some help with this. The afternoon tea is at 1.45pm at the Bowling Club and could include sandwiches, slices and savouries - there is an oven available to heat food. You would also be required to make cups of tea for the group, but this is supplied by the club. If you are available and interested in helping out with preparing plates and serving afternoon tea, please get in touch with Melissa via email [email protected] or leave a message in the office. Thank you Melissa Robins We are really excited that “Get to the Point” is coming up on Saturday 9th November. This year we will be running the Chocolate Wheel and the Salad Bar again. We would love to invite any interested parents that would like to run and organise the Salad Bar to let the office know. If this sounds like something you would be interested in please email [email protected] or come and see Penny in the office. Join us for a fun day - we would love to hear from you! We are asking all families to donate a box of chocolates or a box of scorched almonds to go towards the prizes for the day. These can be dropped to the office. Donations of salads closer to the time will be requested. Keep an eye out in upcoming Newsletters and on the Facebook page. Thanks for your assistance with this!
