Sausage sizzle help required.

Our school needs a new supervisor for sausage sizzle, for approx 1 hour Wednesday mornings.

Here's the details:

  • 8:20am Wednesdays start in kitchen
  • supervise 2 experienced senior students as they take the orders & cash/ eftpos
  • 9am confirm the number of sausages required, place order @ Halswell butchery
  • (each 2nd week) buy loaves of bread from NW
  • lock away the takings & do the banking once a month.
  • keep an eye on supplies


It's very easy, you'd be trained & supported by the PTA so please consider putting your hand up for this if you have the time as we may no longer be able to continue the sausage sizzle if we can't get any help. You might even know of another parent that could do this with you so you could alternate weeks.

If you're interested then please contact us at pta@halswell.school.nz
