The tuckshop really is the heart and soul of our school’s parent community and would not be possible without our amazing volunteers. We have more than 20 parents and grandparents who give up their time to volunteer in the tuckshop or to home bake. It is a credit to our wonderful school community. We are so lucky to have this amazing support.
