As the term winds down the canteen seems to get busier. I am so glad that we can provide a  great service for busy families and I am hearing lots of reports of children enjoying the food. I am, as always, so grateful for my wonderful team of dedicated volunteers. Over the last few weeks I have had many of my regulars working hard and keeping spirits up. Thank you all for your time, hard work and sense of humour.  Last week we welcomed some wonderful new volunteers, so grateful for your service Shannon Nott, Nicholas Hogan, Letitia, Brooke and Eliza.

Thank you for the kind donations of utensils from Woolworths. Metal teaspoons and forks are a precious commodity in the canteen. It would be appreciated if you have any spare Woolworths points and don’t need them for yourself if you could gift to the canteen.

The last day of canteen is Friday 9 December 2022. This allows for a thorough clean in Week 10. I expect it will be a busy week, with extra orders, Christmas Carols (cool drinks and treats available for cash sales only) on Thursday 8 December 2022 and special treats on Friday 9 December 2022. The marketplace is also open for Juice Bomb sales for the holidays. Delivery or pick up will be Wednesday 14 December 2022 and the cut off to order is Tuesday 13 December 2022 at 3pm.  If anyone wants a birthday order for their child please get this in by Thursday 8 December 2022.  I can then provide the included lunch and I will be able to have the ice blocks on hand for the last week if required.

As it is such a busy time, volunteers are welcome - even an hour of your time adds great value in this space. I am looking for volunteers on the Thursday and Friday (I would love to attend the Year 6 assembly). I have opened up the Wednesday for some baking too. Please just complete the following link so that I can manage my workload appropriately.
