Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program No kitchen program this week and our last classes for the term will be held next week with our Year 3 classes enjoying a delicious Japanese menu. There will be no kitchen garden classes in the last week of term. Many thanks to all our wonderful helpers this term, we hope to see you all next term.

Dear Parents I would just like to sincerely apologise for not letting you know in a timely manner about the postponement for the scheduled fundraiser event due today. The event was changed as it was so close to Harmony Day that we felt its importance would be diminished. After consultation with staff and students, we decided that the delay would allow both students and staff to better prepare for a wonderfully successful day. Again I am deeply sorry for causing any inconvenience and I look forward to developing a fantastic day with the students for the rescheduled event which will be held Friday, 1st April.
