Easter Raffle Our Easter Raffle will be drawn this Thursday with a large number of prizes to be won. Our thanks to Sarah Bouch and her team of talented helpers who again have sorted and beautifully presented over 100 prizes. Extra tickets are available from the office. Please return all tickets to the office as soon as possible. World’s Greatest Shave On Saturday, Jack B of Year 5, took part in the World’s Greatest Shave charity event to help raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. The “shave” took place at “Just Hair” in Cox’s Road and many of our Truscott Street families, as well as total strangers, donated to the foundation. Jack has raised over $1,100 an amazing effort as he officially signed up only a few weeks ago.
