Below is some information which will help the day be a great success.

Friday set-up volunteers: If you can spare a few hours on Friday to help with set-up please stop by the hall and we will put you to work.

Saturday Rosters: Hopefully by now at least one parent or caregiver from each family will be rostered for 30 minutes on a school run activity for Ag Day (games, food stalls, white elephant etc). If you haven’t been rostered on for a timeslot yet please contact Jennifer Jamie, there are still gaps. Please support the kids and school by showing up at your rostered time on Saturday. It takes all of us to make the day a great success. Any last minute queries, about rosters please contact Jennifer Jamie:  [email protected].  Printed copies of the rosters will be available near the gate to check on Ag Day.

Cake boxes: Should have come home with your eldest child early this week.  Please fill your box with a delicious cake, slice, loaf or any other baking.

You can drop your baking off at the school staffroom either Friday afternoon from 2pm or first thing Saturday.
