Congratulations to the following student who has turned her heat maps green on timetables rockstars this week. This means she is consistently answering the 12x tables questions in 4 seconds or less.

Olive MacCalman (5/6B).

We still have a few gaps to fill in week 10. We will need one more volunteer to make butter chicken and rice meals from 9-11 am, and one to help wash up bowls from 11-12.30. It will be a busy (but delicious!) morning, please let me know if you are able to help out.

Last week's student helpers Ted Atwood and Angus Glanville did an amazing job preparing Chicken/Tofu Wraps. We were short on adult helpers for the morning, and would have struggled to be ready by lunchtime without the boys' help. They also put together the fanciest fruit trays we have seen so far! :)
