There are way too many names to mention all of them and not miss one - so a HUGE INCREDIBLE thank you to every single one of you who helped make today happen, bring smiles to the faces of every child in attendance and bring sunshine and rainbows to our School and community in 2020.

With a record-breaking 204 orders including 85 ice-creams, a massive thank you goes to our tuckshop heroes Emma and Alex and their only parent volunteer today, Anita!

Just one shift, once a term helps to lighten the load, keep our tuckshop affordable for everyone and open five days a week.
