Term 2, Week 10 - Monday 1st July, 2024

What's On This Week

Years 3-6 Netball Schools Cup and Soccer Fun Day - Tuesday 2nd July

All Primary students will be in attendance on the day, having chosen earlier this term to either play Netball or Soccer. Students will attend during school time. St Raphael's will be entering a competitive Stage 3 Netball team, as well as two teams in both Stages 2 and 3 which are non-competitive. The children playing Soccer have been placed into Stage 2 or 3 teams and will have a fun day playing against one another. Joggers only please. No football boots allowed.

The Netball canteen will be running for all of the children, both Netball and Soccer, to use. We strongly recommend that your child packs plenty of water, food, sunscreen and a hat to get them through the day. We would love to see parents and family members coming up to watch.

Friday 5/7/24  - Beatrice Murray will host cultural workshops with 7-10 during class times

Canteen

Coming Soon - Online Ordering at the Canteen!

Exciting news for all families! By mid Term 3 St Raph's will be rolling out an online Canteen ordering/payment system.  Further information will be distributed next term, but this option is likely to be a great solution for those families that don't always carry cash and prefer to pay online. Please note that cash payments will also remain available, and the current system of placing cash in the lunch bag for payment and ordering to Mrs Stokes will remain an option for those that prefer it.  Stay tuned for more information on this great online alternative!

Updated Term 3 2024 Canteen Menu is attached!
