Our school Lenten challenge – FLOOD the FOODBANK with LOVE continues until the end of the term. Please bring along an item of non-perishable food (cereal, crackers, rice, noodles,) or essential household items (soap, toilet paper, shampoo, baby nappies, dishwashing liquid, washing powder) .
This week our school has collected enough food to feed 13 families. Thankyou, keep those donations flooding in.
‘Oldies’ in the new Mud Kitchen – Our students are loving the chance to play in our new Mud Kitchen area. To avoid muddy uniforms, you are welcome to send a set of old clothes to school for your child to get changed into at lunch times to play.
