TIME FOR CHANGE !!

We at Colonel’s Kitchen follow the Rite Bite Policy but we know we can do better. So, we are stepping it up a notch! To do so, we need your help. We will be forming a team to help us develop, implement and sustain a greener, healthier canteen

So, bring your idea’s and your enthusiasm to our next meeting on Thursday, March 3rd @ 2pm in the staffroom.

Helen & Committee

Mortlock Park gateway closed, laneway open

This afternoon the fences around our landscaping work will be shifted, allowing us to use both bike racks and to move between Grange and our other buildings, staying within school grounds. No more scenic walks through the park to go to music! The laneway will be open for ‘kiss and drop’ once more.

The second part of the bitumen works will start tomorrow. It will mean that the entrance between the Langley Hall and Grange will be closed and there will be big trucks using the parking bay at the eastern end of Windsor Street. OSHC parents should use the laneway.

Only another week of disruption!
