Parent Morning Tea














A big thank you to all the parents and friends who attended Learning Neighbourhood 2s morning tea. Kevin and I both agree that the quality of the food made by the families was outstanding and the best we have ever seen at Princes Hill Primary School. What a difference it makes with no packaged food! The children did a wonderful job in the concert and then worked with gusto on their Learning Agreements as the parents wandered around to see the learning taking place.

We would also like to thank Lisa (Josh's mum) and Dianne (George P's mum) for organising this event.

Free Rice


Have a look at "Free Rice" website - every time you answer a question you earn some rice for people who need food. This is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Program. Keep a tally of the rice you earn and we will add them all together at school.
