Principal’s Message
I would like to acknowledge the support that our school receives from parents and the wider
community. Thank you also to our whole staff in continuing to provide learning experiences for all
our students to ensure they grow in a safe and caring environment.
Students may wear suitable casual clothing, including closed shoes tomorrow, Friday, as part of our
last day of term.
Thank you to Joan and Ash and our parent helpers for your support with canteen each week.
Please ensure changes to afternoon routine (parent pickup/bus) are communicated to the school
by the parent of students involved. Thank you for your support.
I wish all families a happy and safe holiday. Students return to school on Tuesday, 23 July.
Regards,
Pauline Houghton

School Canteen
Canteen helpers tomorrow Deb & Linda
Over the last few months, Pauline has been liaising with the Department of Health regarding our
canteen menu option and its nutritional value.
We have made a few changes to the menu regarding the brands and nutrition of our items but many
of the prices will remain in place. The new menu was sent home last Friday and will also be sent
home beginning of term 3.
Last day of term canteen - Pies, sausage roll and spinach rolls will also be on sale on the last Friday
of term. These items will be smaller, in keeping with the new guidelines:
Pies 180g Sausage roll/ spinach roll 120g
Poppers - On canteen day 99% fruit juice poppers are on sale in the following flavours:
Orange apple apple/ blackcurrant
Ice Blocks - will continue to be sold on Monday and Friday recess and must now be 99 - 100% fruit
juice. The price will remain at 70c.
The new guidelines are to support students and families in understanding the importance of
nutrition.
Thank you, Joan, Ash, Pauline
