Canteen Helpers Needed

Can you help?

Stephanie in our canteen provides a wonderful service to our school.  I am sure we would all be lost without our wonderful canteen service. One of the key factors in running our canteen and keeping costs lower is having volunteers to assist. 
Can you please consider helping out, even if only for a busy recess or lunchtime?
Please call Stephanie on 9444 3798 and let her know you are available, or find out further information.

In an effort to get a bit extra support each week we will be nominating classes to consider volunteering.  This week we are calling all Rooms 3 and 4  parents to consider volunteering.

Butterfly Bounty

We're making a difference.

Planting of butterfly host plant species continued last week, in both the school grounds and the bushland.  For example, the Running Postman (Kennedia prostrata) is a host plant for the Common Grass Blue butterfly and Green Stinkwood (Jacksonia sternbergiana) is a host plant for the Western Jewel.  Our students learnt specific skills for planting seedlings that encourage plant survival in the bushland. 
Working together, we are making a difference!


Here's the round up of all the latest news from Cross Curriculum Priorities. There's so much going on - please take a look.

Lost Property Increase

Can you take a look at home? 

We have had a lot of students lose jackets, in particular, in the last few weeks of term, but also hats and other items.  Can you please take a look inside uniform labels this week and see if your child might have accidentally brought home another child's clothing. Particularly in this cold weather we'd like to reunite children with their jackets.
