CATERLINK ‘FOOD TASTER’ SESSION It was great to see so many parents/carers attending the ‘Food Taster’ session on Wednesday. Thank you to Michael, his staff and Noel Gaffey, Caterlink Manager for organising this event. It was a great success. QUICK DROP BOX Note that the ‘Quick Drop Box’ has been relocated next to the Reception desk. I would ask you to please drop into this box all reply slips, correspondence for class teachers or any forms to be returned to the office. The reception area is extremely busy at times and this will save you time rather than queuing up at the desk. Thank you for your co-operation.
