Help needed!!! We are looking for canteen helpers. Our canteen allows our kids to
have a variety of lunch options on Fridays.
It also helps raise funds towards different projects.
If you think you may be able to help, please contact the school.
We went to Danthonia community with Dominic. He is at Gum Flat.
He is my new friend, he was nice.
I liked the bikes because I went fast.
It was red and had wheels and I want one at Gilgai.
