During Lent, one of our focuses is almsgiving (giving to those who are less fortunate) This week, families will receive Project Compassion donation boxes for Caritas Australia. Funds for Project Compassion go towards those who need assistance in Australia and as well as other countries. Some of their projects include education, housing, fresh water, and growing crops. Boxes can be returned to school before the Easter break.
Our school canteen resumed today and will operate every Thursday & Friday during school terms. Mrs Tameika Anthony will be the canteen co-ordinator again this year.
Canteen orders must be made via the Qkr! app, please see the How to Download Qkr! link below. Orders close and must be placed by 8.00 am on the day of the canteen order.
Qkr! App Issues
We are aware that some families are unable to download the Qkr! app - please see the communication we have received from our Qkr! representative.
There is an issue with the new Android phones not accepting the version on Google Store. We have the new update ready and are waiting for notification that it has been added to the Google Store.
In the meantime please use the Qkr website for your purchases. I would also recommend that you use a laptop/desktop when accessing the Qkr website.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
