Roll up, roll up.

The DPS S&C are holding a BBQ & Cake / Jam Stall at school during the local government elections next Saturday 8th September, and we need your help!

There are many ways you can help out...

BAKING:
Please bring your baked goods to the school either on Friday 7th (location to be determined), or directly to the cake stall on Saturday 8th. Please label your lovely donations with the type of baked good as well as the ingredients. Suggestions include:
- muffins
- whole cakes
- cupcakes
- honey joys
- chocolate crackles
- lamingtons
- gluten free options
etc

ROSTER FOR HELP ON THE DAY:
There will be three shifts of three hours each, if you are able to volunteer for one of these shifts please reply with your name and the timeslot. If you can't commit to a full three hours but still want to help out for an hour or two, please let us know by email.

8am - 11am
11am - 2pm
2pm - 5pm

PREPARATIONS BEFOREHAND:
So you can't bake, and you are busy on Saturday, but you still want to help out? Assistance with preparation jobs small or large over the next week would be very much welcome too! These jobs include things like making signage, ordering / picking up packaging for cakes, shopping for general supplies, helping co-ordinate the cake collection on Friday at school etc.

Please email us if you are able to help with any of the above.

Thanks!

Back to school

Happy 2012!

No doubt there are many excited kids out there raring to get back to school (and possibly some excited parents).

Just to let you know that from now on the S&C meetings will be held on the FIRST Wednesday of every month. So that means this Wednesday for the first one.

I realise it's a busy week for most of us, but it would be great to see you there. A great opportunity to get moving and plan out the year.

Cheers
