GARDEN CLUB Last week our keen gardeners got their hands dirty at the first GC meeting of the year. The children prepared the garden beds for our first crop and the garden saw a new lick of paint. 2 new worm farms were prepared and our new squirmy residence had their first meal of scraps from the canteen kitchen. The kids were full of questions about the worms and how they will benefit our garden. SECRETARY ROLE STILL VACANT The P&C is still looking for a Secretary for our committee. This role essentially manages all correspondence received and records and publishes the minutes from the meetings. If you are interested please speak to a committee member or let the front office know. Robin Gage, P&C President
