25.01.2022 Please be advised that the FHPS P&C have made the decision to keep the canteen closed for Term 3. The decision has been made to support the schools objective of ensuring a COVID-19 safe environment for children and staff. We also want to ensure our canteen volunteers are able to focus on their families and respond to the evolving situation. Thank you for your understanding and support.

If we don't have more volunteers soon we will have to consider closing the canteen and only opening 2 days a week. If you are interested please complete the attached form and take it into the school office. Thanks
