25.01.2022 The new building L block was opened this morning by Jackie Trad MP for South Brisbane. It involved a huge cake and a giant gold key. The WESS leaders did an amazing job giving a speech in the howling westerly winds and then hosting the morning tea. The building looks amazing and all the new prep families will soon be able to look through the new building in a virtual tour.

BUT THERE WILL BE NO CASH TRANSACTIONS AT ALL!... There will be no over the counter sales at 1st or 2nd lunch. All ice blocks ordered through flexischools will be sent to the class at 2nd lunch. Children cannot present to the tuckshop to purchase items. There will be hand sanitiser readily available for use at the tuckshop - particularly for adults who may come in the shop & of course the tuckshop staff.

There will be no volunteers (even though we love our volunteers) in the shop. We will be in touch with them once restrictions have been lifted. The tuckshop crew will not be taking phone orders during this time. Please place all your orders via flexischools by 8.30am The new menu is on our website www.wesspandc.org and is full of yummy things.

16.01.2022 Love riding your bike and think we should do more to get WESS children doing the same? The WESS Active School Travel committee are looking for a WESS parent or carer to come and join them. The first meeting of the year is on Thursday 25th February from 7.30am where they will be discussing the first event of the year "National Ride2School Day" Interested? Send us a message and we'll get you in contact with them

16.01.2022 Happy P&C Day and a big THANK YOU for all you do from Education Minister, Grace Grace. Watch for P&C of the Year launch details.

15.01.2022 The raffle has been drawn and the winners announced. Winners have been notified by email and the list is up on our website. Thank you to all who bought tickets and to all the lovely local business that gave prizes. Your support to our school is invaluable. Have brilliant Xmas and holiday all our Wess families.

12.01.2022 P&C meeting Tuesday 9th June from 7pm - https://mailchimp.mp/b/pc-meeting-tuesday-9th-june-from-7pm

12.01.2022 This year the P&C has donated over $150k to the school to fund technology, reading resources, the nature play, physical education teaching and other school events. The OSHC/Storage expansion is also in its final stages, reflecting a P&C investment of approx $180k in OSHC services. With our school community growing, the P&C has further exciting plans with your continued support. With the completion of stage 1 the P&C will have an opportunity to grow our OSHC services.... When Stage 2 is given the go ahead, the P&C has the cash allocated to fund a new uniform shop, new tuckshop and P&C facilities for staff and the community to use. When Stage 3 is done, the P&C hopes to raise funds to fix the oval and offer a safe, green space for our kids to play. OSHC is the P&C's main source of income, closely followed by fundraising. Unfortunately restrictions this year have meant less utilisation of OSHC and no FUNdraising events, and the future remains uncertain. To support the P&C and our future plans, here's how you can help: Join the P&C and attend meetings Donate to the School building fund via flexischools (tax deductible) Donate to the School via TOMRA Help us write grants to access additional funds Volunteer your time at the next FUNdraiser - hopefully in term 4 Have your business sponsor the P&C - contact us to find out more Thank you for your ongoing support!

05.01.2022 It is with a sad heart we announce the sudden passing of one of 4101s brightest stars, Thames Delaforce. His tireless support in local community events, the P&C and the WESS fiesta to name a few, made tasks light and fun as this was his nature. He was a generous soul who often would take on the jobs that no one wanted with an easy manner and a bit of rogue spirit. Friends to everyone, our hearts go out to his family at this time he will be dearly missed.
