Getting Involved<br />

Assembly<br />

<strong>School</strong> assembly is conducted in the school hall each Friday morning commencing at 9.05am.<br />

<strong>Parent</strong>s are welcome to assist in classroom programs under the supervision of the class<br />

teachers. A training session is conducted for parents wishing to assist each year to facilitate<br />

maximum benefit from the experience.<br />

Canteen<br />

The canteen is currently open on Monday and Friday and supports healthy food choices. Our<br />

canteen co-ordinator organises the roster for volunteer parents. Price lists and menus for the<br />

canteen are distributed to all families at the beginning of the year and available from the<br />

school’s web-site. Lunch orders are to be written on brown paper bags listing the following<br />

information: child’s name, room and class, the selected food items and their costs and the<br />

total of the lunch order. The correct money should be securely placed within the lunch order<br />

bag.<br />

<strong>Parent</strong> volunteers are invited to join the canteen roster each year via a notice in the<br />

school newsletter.<br />

<strong>Information</strong> Evenings<br />

<strong>Information</strong> evenings are conducted mid February for all parents to enhance the homeschool<br />

learning partnership.<br />
