150th Birthday Celebration

In 2022, Calliope State School celebrates its 150th birthday. To celebrate there will be a 150th celebration from 1pm-5pm on Saturday 27th August 2022 at Calliope State School. There will be stalls, rides, memorabilia, school tours, music and just lots of fun all round. Ride armbands will go on sale during the holidays so keep an eye on Facebook and we will let you know when they go live. Save the date and bring the family down to help us celebrate. We are also needing volunteers on the day so if you have some free time, please let us know.

Tuckshop News

Keep your eyes peeled for some delicious new winter warmers added to our menu. Our fabulous tuckshop convener, Miss Lisa, is always working hard and creating some delicious soups and lucky dips along with all the amazing tastebud delights on our weekly menu. Be sure to get onto QKR and get your orders in. Miss Lisa can always use an extra set of hands or two each tuckshop day to make sure your kids get their food as quickly as possible at break times. If you’d like to lend a hand, please contact Miss Lisa via our Facebook page or pandc@calliopess.eq.edu.au

Parents are reminded that ice creams and ice blocks need to be collected from tuckshop by the students with their paper bag.

Taste Buds Fundraiser

Taste buds is a variety of yummy spice blends, savoury salts & rubs and versatile mixes and the best part is you can order online and they are delivered straight to your door. Just remember to use the code Calliope at checkout to fundraise for your kids. Feel free to share the link with friends and family. More information on the Calliope State School P & C Facebook page or Visit https://tastebudsfundraising.com.au/?ref=Calliope 

QKR

Last week we had some issues with QKR when ordering tuckshop which have now been resolved. We would like to thank everyone for their patience while we resolved the problems. Unfortunately, things like this do arise and are completely out of our control. In the future, if possible, please try to order ahead of time to ease congestion in the mornings.

Uniform Shop

Uniform shop orders on QKR can take up to 3 business days to fill after day of order. These items are then taken to the office and the students are contacted to collect. If you haven’t received your uniform order, please check if it has been 3 days, that it’s not in your child’s school bag (we all have that one child!) and that it’s not in the classroom. Please remember if you have any concerns, please contact us via our Facebook page or email: uniformshop.calliopess@gmail.com as the admin staff will more than likely not be able to advise you.

Volunteer Reminder

I would like to take this moment to remind everyone that we are volunteers, we are parents, we are employed by other organisations or companies and that unfortunately, although it would be amazing, we do not have endless hours in the day. Please when contacting us be patient, be polite and be kind. We know it may be frustrating not getting a response straight away however please understand you are not being ignored, we just may be busy and will get to it as soon as possible. If you would like to help lighten the load and volunteer, please reach out we would love to have you on board.

Please don’t hesitate to stop us and say hi and ask questions.
