Volunteers for Term 1 Roster
I would like to ask for help to start the roster off in 2012. This
will then enable me to start calling for volunteers for the roster
for Term 1. If you can help out on any of the above days it
would be greatly appreciated as the Canteen cannot operate
without the help of volunteers. Please phone the school or my
mobile if you are able to help. Thanking you.
Graduation Helpers in the Canteen
Thank you to the following Grade 5 Parents who kindly assisted
in the Canteen for the Graduation on Tuesday night:-
Christina Parker (Emerson 5W), Denise Stevens (Matt 5W),
Lesley Tennant (Liam 5W), Marie McIntyre (Laura 5W), Elke
Carter (Joshua 5D), Natalie Riddle (Tia 5W), Pia Carter (Angus
Cameron 5W) and Jo Gilbert (Max 5W).
I would also like to say thank you to everyone who has assisted
in helping me with the day to day running of our very busy
Canteen. Without your help we would not be able to offer the
Canteen service to our school. Have a very Merry Christmas
everyone and hope to see you all again in 2012. To the families
who are leaving the school this year, thank you for your support
over the last 4 years. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
The Canteen will be open for business in 2012 on the first day
of Term 1, 2012.
Thanking you.

SAKG Program
STEPHANIE ALEXANDER KITCHEN GARDEN PROGRAM
It’s the end of another fabulous year and the SAKG
program at Mt Eliza Primary School has concluded with
great success!
This year over 180 Grade 3 and 4 students took part in
the program. They gained valuable skills in growing food,
caring for the garden, harvesting produce, preparing
ingredients, creating recipes, expanding their culinary
palate and sharing their meal with their classmates. All of
the students have grown in knowledge and confidence
and have found many successes through the program.
The SAKG Committee and Grade 3/4 teachers would like
to thank all of the amazing volunteers for their hard work
and dedication throughout the year. We appreciate the
time you spend with our children to ensure they not only
gain important skills in the garden and kitchen but also
have lots of fun!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
The SAKG Committee
