School Canteen opening Term 2

We’re excited to welcome Quality Canteen Services (QCS) as our canteen operator from the start of term 2.

We will no longer be using CDFpay for lunch orders, QCS uses an app called Flexischools. We’re finalising how staff are set up and will send a notification in the coming days when you can download the app and add yourself, ready to order next term. 

From Term 2, Lunch orders can be placed on flexischools until 8am every day or after 8am, you can put a brown paper bag with lunch order details, name and class written on the front of the bag and place the cash inside and place it in the classroom tub. 

QCS will provide each classroom with a lunch order tub. Classroom teachers will need to assign canteen monitors to take the tub to the canteen by 9:15am every day. If you are a specialist teacher, please ensure your first class of the day has delivered their lunch orders to the canteen. Students will need to collect the tub at 11am ready for eating time.

The canteen will also be open every day for both breaks to buy snacks and drinks over the counter.

PLEASE NOTE: As QCS and TheirCare now occupy the Macpac kitchen it is not open to SGP staff. Do not use the Macpac kitchen to store your food in the fridge or freezer, warm your lunch or sit to eat your food.

Another Staffing Update

Many of you would be aware by now that Teresa Velardi will be leaving us at the end of term to pursue other opportunities. I want to thank Teresa for her contributions to the SGP community over the years and for bringing the Italian language and culture to life for all of the students here.

 

Today, the following message will go out to our families:

Our Italian teacher, Teresa Velardi, will be leaving us at the end of term to pursue other opportunities. Those of you who know her will know the contributions she has made to the SGP community over the years in bringing the Italian language and culture to life for all of your children. Teresa will be missed and I know that wherever life takes her, she will bring enthusiasm and passion to whatever she does.
As Teresa will be leaving us at the end of the term, we are currently searching for a LOTE teacher to join our team.
We wish Teresa all the best in her future endeavours.
Warm regards
Michael

Hello everyone,

I trust this message finds you all in good spirits. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each of you and working alongside you at SGP Primary School.

As the end of term approaches, I’m reaching out to seek volunteers among the staff to help care for our chickens during the upcoming school holidays, from Friday, March 29th, to our return on Monday, April 15th.

I’m in need of volunteers who can commit to checking on the chickens on specific days, ensuring they have ample supplies and care. It’s crucial that volunteers are available on the designated day to prevent any disruptions in their care routine.

Below are the available dates for volunteering:

  • Friday, April 5th

  • Sunday, April 7th

  • Tuesday, April 9th

  • Saturday, April 13th

Please let me know which date works best for you, and I’ll send a confirmation email upon receiving your nomination. I’ll also provide a detailed rundown of the tasks involved.

The chickens require attention every other day, including stretching their legs, replenishing their food and water, and collecting eggs. As a token of appreciation for your assistance, feel free to take home any eggs collected during your visit.

While I’ll be able to check on them myself on a few days, I’ll be away visiting family in New Zealand from Thursday, April 4th, to Wednesday, April 10th.

I’ll personally cover the following dates:

  • March 30th

  • April 1st, 3rd, 11th

Thank you all in advance for your willingness to help out! Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Warm regards,

Tim
