We also love the instant translate option! We do welcome feedback, so please let us know which parts you like or dislike and why. You can feedback directly to either Sam (in the office) or to me.

All money and unsold Fruit Bags should have been returned to the office on Friday 31, May. If you have not already done so, please get them in, so that we are able to collate the winning families and classes for most sold. If we do not get all unsold bags returned by the end of school on Monday 24 June, families WILL be invoiced for the full $80 as we need to close off this fundraiser. We appreciate your support!
