Secondhand Uniform Stall

The first secondhand uniform stall for the term will be on Wednesday 4 March 2020 from 2:30pm - 3:15pm. 

Helpers are needed as at present we only have one person running the stall.

All items are $2, $5 and $10 for newer style uniforms.  Good quality donations are gratefully appreciated and can be handed in to the College office or bring them to the stall.  Mrs Glenda Carter

Saratoga Hawks AFL Club: Your local AFL club, the Saratoga Hawks, are looking for boys and girls to join our Auskick (Kindy/Year 1) teams and our Under 9 Teams.

We are also looking for girls between the ages of 11 and 17 to join our Youth Girls teams. Recent research has shown that kids who play AFL are more likely to grow up with a positive body image, higher self-esteem, elevated levels of body strength and fitness and overall better health.

To secure your spot, register today by emailing registrar@sarahawks.org.au  or go to the Saratoga Hawks JAFC Facebook and Instagram pages for more details. Registrations close on 16 February 2020. Active Kids Vouchers accepted.

FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES AT GREAT PRICES: Last December a group started up to buy fruit and vegetables, as well as good bread and a few groceries direct from farmers (for the fruit and veg) or wholesalers.  It is through Box Divvy - named because we order full boxes of fruit and vegetables that are at their freshest and share (divvy) them between us.  Prices generally work out cheaper than supermarkets (plus you save money on less impulse buys at the supermarket) and the farmer gets more of it (66 cents in the dollar goes to the farmer, compared with more like 33 cents from produce at supermarkets).  It is great for the environment too, as there is minimal packaging and reduced food miles - where possible the fruit and veg are grown in the Sydney Basin or  on the Central Coast, although to have a good range available produced is sourced further away when necessary.  Our combined order will be delivered to Erina on Tuesdays where you can pick it up or I can bring a limited number of boxes to school pick up on Tuesday afternoon.

For more information, go to Facebook and search Box Divvy Erina, or text/call me on 0402 463 058. There is a lot of information on the Facebook page.

There is also a group at Woy Woy.  Search Box Divvy Woy Woy on Facebook or ask me by phone/text.
