The Community Council (CC) held a meeting last Tuesday evening.

Congratulations to Sam Johnson for successfully organising the cake stall fundraiser at ‘Fun in the Park’. Thank you to the staff and parents who cooked and helped at the stall on the day. We donated 70 cupcake kits to the community and also made $317.20 which is a great result for a few hours on a Sunday.

The end of year raffle has begun. Thank you to the Barton family for the generous donations. Please sell all of your tickets and return to the office the week of the street stall (next Wednesday 1st December).

The street stall is next week! Thursday December 2nd, Friday December 3^rd, and Saturday December 4^th. We need everyone to make a big effort so our final fundraiser for the year is a success! We would like everyone to contribute cooking or fresh produce to the stall. As our stall is popular each year we really need as much cooking as we can get. Christmas cakes or puddings can be made ahead of time and would be a great addition to the stall.

Tuckshop has been busy! Thank you to all of our volunteers for 2021, it hasn’t been easy this year with changes in location, processes, and the menu. Alicia Hargreaves has done an amazing job making it happen under difficult circumstances, and she needs our continued support for 2022. We farewelled Renee Lindley from the tuckshop this term. Renee has served on the tuckshop for many, many years and has been such an asset to our school. Thank you to Anne Tickner for creating a fun apron as a thank you gift for Renee.

The cultural space is progressing. The local indigenous artists have provided us sketches of the mural they will paint on the wall of the learning hub. We are also working to get the water tank set up and connected to water the oval.

Thank you to Michelle McDonnell who has offered to create the school yearbook, with the help of Lisa Ryan. We are looking forward to seeing the memories in gloss!

Thank you also to Bec Gaskin for continuing to run the uniform shop for 2021 and for adapting to the online ordering system which has made the ordering process smoother for everyone.

Happy Holidays!!
