May we, Your Holy People, walk forward together side by side.

Amen

Hi Everyone,

How are you? I hope your break has been everything that you want it to be. It is with much joy and enthusiasm that we extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you as we embark on a new journey in the 2024 school year! We hope this newsletter finds you in great spirits and ready for the exciting adventures that await us.

Attached please find dates for this term to help with your planning. As with every school, things can and sometimes do change. If that happens we will be in touch as soon as we know.

Locavora Lunch Orders

Locavora are supplying our lunches for 2024 - Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. They are a well-regarded company. The process is quite straightforward. It is important to note the cut-off times for ordering lunches:

Cut off time to place a lunch order is 8:30am for same day delivery Monday and Wednesday.
To place an order after the cut off time on Monday and Wednesday, please call the store on 9481 4500, our store mobile on 0473 779 244.
Late orders will not be accepted after 9am Monday to Thursday.
Due to the high volume of orders on Fridays, the cut off time is 7am Friday for same day delivery.
Due to the volume of orders, we do not accept any late orders on Fridays.

Catering is for lunch only , so we will all need to bring our own ‘playlunch’ every day from next term.

Our amazing P&F are now managing the distribution of lunches from next term, and even more amazingly, the roster is around 80% filled until November next year! Your support to make this big change work has been nothing short of remarkable - thankyou on behalf of all of our children.
