SUMMARY:Working Bee
DESCRIPTION:A task sheet for each of the above dates will be available via the school interviews online booking system https://www.schoolinterviews.com.au/ \, please use the code wex6h to book. \nPlease note that a commitment of 3 hours (i.e.\, the whole duration of the working bee) is required.  The aim of each working bee is to have at least 3 staff members and up to 10 parents present. \nWorking bees are a great way to get involved with the centre and your community.  They also help us keep our maintenance costs down.  The working bee levy will be refunded to all families that attend.  You are more than welcome to attend more than one working bee per calendar year; however\, the working bee levy will only be refunded once. \nFrom time-to-time parents that are unable to attend a working bee may be able to do another job or task that can count towards a working bee. \nPlease see Helen or Kathleen for more details. \nFor obvious safety reasons children are unable to attend working bees. \nWhen taking part in working bees we ask that you always be aware of your own health and safety and the health and safety of others.
