Sports Day is fast approaching and we need the help of our wonderful school community to keep our Sports Day catering up and running!

We’re looking for parents, caregivers and community members who can spare some time to help cook the BBQ or serve throughout the day.

Even just ONE HOUR would make a huge difference!

A volunteer schedule is available in the Front Office, so please pop in and add your name to a time that suits you. Thank you 💙💛
