In 2022, Calliope State School celebrates its 150^th birthday. To celebrate there will be a 150^th celebration from 1pm-5pm on Saturday 27August 2022 at Calliope State School. There will be stalls, rides, memorabilia, school tours, music and just lots of fun all round. Save the date and bring the family down to help us celebrate.

Ride armbands will be live on QKR from Thursday 14July, 2022. There will be eight rides available to choose from on the day. Each armband is $30 per person and you can ride as many times as you like.

Tuckshop News

Keep your eyes peeled for some delicious new winter warmers added to our menu. Our fabulous tuckshop convener, Miss Lisa, is working hard again 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 week at the Tuck Shop 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.

QKR

Over the last week of last term we had several issues with QKR when ordering Tuck Shop. We would like to take the moment to thank everyone for their patience while we try resolve the issues with this. Unfortunately, things like this do arise and are completely out of our control. In the future, if possible, if you can order ahead of time to ease congestion in the mornings as this can cause QKR to malfunction.

Uniform Shop

Uniform Shop orders on QKR can take up to 3 business days to fill after the 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 its 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 the admin ladies are probably unlikely to be able to solve them, contact us via our Facebook page or email uniformshop.calliopess@gmail.com 

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, say hi and ask questions.

Your P&C Team

Tenielle, Kate, Bec, Geoff and Cass.
