Here we are; only one day of the school year to go! On behalf of the Calliope State School P&C, we wish all of our families a very Merry Christmas. Stay safe over the break, enjoy your travels around this beautiful country and we hope that 2021 brings a lot of joy after a very different and tough 2020.

Thank you to the school teachers and staff for their endless support this year. 2020 has taught everyone so much and it has highlighted that it is paramount that our children are encouraged to be life-long learners because, us parents certainly have learnt a lot!!!! To all of the school staff, we hope that you have a restful holiday and feel refreshed and rejuvenated for 2021.

Congratulations to our Year 6 students!!! They have officially graduated from Primary School. It was so humbling to see families together last night, to celebrate your graduation. All the best for your High School adventures and we hope that you will always look back on your Primary School days and smile!! It was a pleasure to present the Year 6 students with their signature frames and pens as their graduation gift this year.

Tuckshop News

Thank you to everyone who has supported the tuckshop throughout this crazy year - it’s certainly been different!

Our tuckshop is a very busy area and I do try to keep the costs down throughout the year. However, the Tuckshop must cover all expenses & make a small profit to go towards the P&C’s purchase of equipment or facilities for the students. I say this because some Tuckshop prices will be increased next year! :) 

To help the Tuckshop continue to provide a worthwhile service to the school community, any donations of products which are used regularly & can be stored, would be appreciated! If you can’t spare the time to volunteer in Tuckshop, maybe this option would appeal to you. Items like tin tomatoes, corn, beetroot, flour, pasta, rice, sugar, choc chips, tomato paste, pineapple, snack and sandwich size snap lock bags, brown paper bags, etc.

I am working through ideas for a new Summer Menu. If you have any ideas about menu items, please send them through. I will consider items that make Tuckshop service easier, yet deliver more tasty & healthy options. Your support & comments are always welcomed!

Tuckshop will be open in Week 1 of 2021. Can’t wait to prepare your healthy lunches next year!

Thanks Miss Lisa
