Book Fair
We are desperately looking for parents who are happy to help run the Book Fair next Monday at 8.45 am. The Book Fair will be open in the hall from 8.45 to 9.15 am and again at 2.45 to 3.15 pm every day next week. Please let your child's classroom teacher know if you can help ANY day/time. We currently have NO helpers so we will not be able to run this awesome event if we can't get any help. Thank you in advance.
Book Character Dress Up Day - is next Friday 2nd November. Come to school dressed up as your favourite book character.
Cricket Festival Forms for Yr 5/6
These permission forms are due back tomorrow. Out of the 12 replies, there has been one offer of help with a team and 3 offers with transport. Sadly without parent help, they will not be able to attend this festival as there is not enough helpers to cover the adult per child ration. Please let Mrs Brien know if you can help. You do not have to know how to play cricket as the children will be told on the day the format of the game. This is just a managerial role and to sub children on and off.
Food Fair
There are still 6 spaces left on the cake wheel for cake/slice/muffin donations. The cakes are to be delivered to the hall kitchen tomorrow during the day or Saturday between 4.00 and 5.00 pm or Sunday morning at 10.30 am.
The starting time for the Food Fair has changed from previous years and the gates now open at 11.30 am and food is available for purchase from 12.00 pm. Please bring cash for the cake wheel, ice cream and coffee trucks, face painting and fundraiser stalls and there is eftpos facilities available.
If it wet on Sunday, the Food Fair will still be on and it will be held in the hall.
Found
We still have 2 phones, children glasses, 1 scooter and 1 bike here at school. If you are missing any of these items, please contact the office.
Pita Pit Oamaru
Would like the opportunity to have their healthy and delicious pitas delivered to our school as part of a healthy lunch option. They would have a designated day for the lunch orders and we would still have Subway lunch orders on a Friday.
With Pita Pit you do not give your orders to school as you order and pay for them online and they are delivered to school on the designated day. Our school will not be involved with the ordering of the lunches nor can we send in late order lunches.
We are seeking feedback as to whether you will use this second lunch option so please contact the office if you are interested by next week. The menu also caters for gluten and dairy free diets.
Menu
Main: Free range chicken, free farmed ham, roast beef and Falafei cost $5.20 each
Garden veggie costs $4.70
All pitas come with a choice of plain or wholemeal bread and come with a choice of up to three fillings.
Sides: Cookie baked chocolate candy 60g is $2.10
Drinks: Charlies 600 ml spring water and 200 ml apple juice, black currant and apple juice is $2.10
Combo: Candy cookie and 600 ml water is $3.65
