Mini school Makeover

Calling all Mums, Dads, Aunts, Uncles, Grandpas and Grandmas!

The front gardens at the school are in need of replanting and we have managed to get some beautiful plants donated. We are now looking for some helpers to plant them one afternoon during the week.

If you are interested in helping out, please call Amanda on 0439 939 934 and we will organise a day that suits.

There are a few mini makeovers taking place over the coming weeks where we would love volunteers for just an hour or so before the school day ends. All help is greatly appreciated as we take the time to beautify our school for all to enjoy.

We would be very appreciative for donations of any size such as gift vouchers, products, Christmas groceries or toys. These can be handed in to the office for collection. We sincerely thank you in advance for your contributions.

Thank You for the Spring Clean!

A very big thank you to the amazing volunteers that attended our Spring Clean on Saturday 31st October. The amount of work achieved by the dedicated helpers was astronomical.

Another big thank you to Valley Tree Works for the mulch supplied and to the Radford and Milling families for the plant donations.
