During weeks 8 and 9, we are asking for donations to support our local St Vincent de Paul Conference who support the Nagle Centre in Campbelltown. The Nagle Centre is a family care and support service for people and families experiencing crisis and disadvantage in the Macarthur region. Part of the support is the centre being a place where people can go to get themselves a hot meal.

Some examples of items which can be donated:

Tinned vegetables and fruit, tins of spaghetti, baked beans and soup, pasta and pasta sauce, rice, noodles, cup-of-soup, gravy mixes, stock powders, milo, cordial, long life juice, flour (plain & self-raising), maple syrup, pancake and cake mixes, vegemite, jam, honey, cracker snack packs.

Please ensure all items are in date and undamaged. Baskets are available in classrooms for items to be dropped off.

Lets help to make someone less fortunate this winter by thinking about the above items next time you are shopping.

The P&F Mother's Club will be holding the Biggest Morning Tea on Monday, 24th June 2019 at 8:30am in the school hall.

All are welcome to attend.

Any Fete volunteers who may have any questions are welcome to attend the P&F Meeting on Monday 24th June at 6:30pm and see the Fete Committee.
