25.01.2022 LUNCH MENU ONLY THURSDAY Due to a lack of volunteers, the canteen will only be serving a lunch menu on Thursday this week. Recess orders will NOT be available...... With over 300 orders on a Thursday it is impossible for Kirstin to manage that huge volume without volunteer support. PLEASE consider signing up for canteen roster if you are able to help even if it’s not your classes turn.

22.01.2022 As ever, the Canteen needs your support to provide a full lunch and recess service. For term 4 our volunteer spots are only one quarter filled, meaning that the menu options will be reduced on a daily/as needed basis to match the number of volunteers. The fewer volunteers, the fewer lunch items will be available worst case scenario we will not be able to operate on certain days. A huge thank you to those who have volunteered already, and the class reps for their ongoing ass...istance in sending reminders. Sign up link is: https://signup.com/go/pYeghDL Here is the roster for the rest of term 4: Week 2 (20 and 22 October) 4P Week 3 (27 and 29 October) 1/2T Week 4 (3 and 5 November) 3H Week 5 (10 and 12 November) 5/6S Week 6 (17 and 19 November) 5LJ Week 7 (24 and 26 November) 1T Week 8 (1 and 3 December) PP2 Week 9 (8 and 10 December) 4ZW Week 10 (15 and 17 December) 2JB

We absolutely welcome grandparents/aunties/uncles and friends!

14.01.2022 DO YOU HAVE A CHILD WITH ANAPHYLAXIS? At WACSSO State Council this past weekend, Sandra Vale National Allergy Strategy Manager presented information on the work currently being done to develop national standards for the prevention and management of anaphylaxis in schools and childcare. To help inform these standards the National Allergy Strategy would like to hear feedback from parents via a national online survey which focusses on how severe allergies should be managed in sc...hools and childcare facilities. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and all information collected will be anonymous. You can find the survey at: https://survey.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6xxbswzmoQHPikZ Survey submissions close midnight this Friday 25th September 2020. Please circulate to parents within your school community to help give WA parents a strong voice in the development of the national standards for the prevention and management of anaphylaxis.

01.01.2022 Basketball is back in Term 3!

01.01.2022 Canteen - WE NEED YOU! The canteen will open from week 3 onwards (commencing Tuesday 16 and Thursday 18 February) providing recess and lunch options every Tuesday and Thursday unless otherwise advised. As you may know, our canteen relies on volunteers to provide a cost-effective and healthy service, and without volunteers we're unable to operate at full capacity. With fewer volunteers, we may need to either reduce menu options, or potentially close on selected days. Mums, dad...s, aunts/uncles, grandparents or neighbours - anyone over 18. All are welcome and tasks are simple - cutting fruit, prepping toasted sandwiches/wraps/pizza/salads, packing completed orders - your support makes a huge difference! Canteen volunteers can work either half shifts from 8.45am-10.45am or 10.45-1pm, or a full shift 8.45-1pm. Parents volunteering for a half shift receive a free recess for their child/ren, and those volunteering for a full shift receive a free lunch for their child/ren. Hand washing and following strict hygiene measures are of critical importance for all those who are volunteering. We have found the most efficient way to manage volunteer requirements is to assign every class in the school the duty of providing the volunteers for each week. Each class will be assigned responsibility for 2x weeks per year, once in terms 1-2, and once more in terms 3-4. We manage our volunteer roster via Signup.com, and the roster for terms 1 and 2 2021 is available now at https://signup.com/go/itHUFmZ Reminders will be issued a week in advance and the night before, and class reps will also ask for support. Ms DeBrass's class 3/4D is responsible for volunteers to kick off term 1 (week 3 = next week) - huge thanks in advance! Term 1 Canteen Volunteer Roster Week 3 3/4 D - 16/2 & 18/2 Week 4 6L - 23/2 & 25/2 Week 5 1T - 2/3 & 4/3 Week 6 5P - 9/3 & 11/3 Week 7 2JJ - 16/3 & 18/3 Week 8 PP2 - 23/3 & 25/3 Week 9 4BH - 30/3 & 1/4 Term 2 Canteen Volunteer Roster Week 1 2S - 20/4 & 22/4 Week 2 6D - 27/4 & 29/4 Week 3 3F - 4/5 & 6/5 Week 4 PP1 - 11/5 7 13/5 Week 5 5ZW - 18/5 & 20/5 Week 6 1C - 25/5 & 27/5 Week 7 3H - 1/6 & 3/6 Week 8 1/2 TB - 8/6 & 10/6 Week 9 3/4 D - 15/6 & 17/6 Week 10 1T - 22/6 & 24/6 Week 11 6L - 29/6 & 1/7

01.01.2022 Looks like a few people are feeling confused about whether kids should wear or bring their swimmers to school for school swimming. Official direction from the school on the website says to wear uniform to school and get changed at recess: http://kapinaraps.wa.edu.au/pp-4-in-term-swimming/
