From the Sustainability Committee...
Thank you - West End Fair bake sale success!
Thank you to everyone who contributed time and baked goods to the West End Fair bake sale. It was a huge success, raising just over $1,000 for Winters Flat. Not only did we sell out of everything, but we had many compliments on the beautiful and delicious spread on offer. Thank you, too, to all the families who came out to support the bake sale and the fair. Winters Flat's presence as the neighbourhood school was very felt on the day, helping to turn this into an annual event - stay tuned for next year!
A 'good ol days' bike shed at Winters Flat! Call out for building materials donations
To help encourage kids and parents to ride to school, the Sustainability Sub-committee is leading the build of a bike shed built from second-hand materials. And we have already hit go! The ground is level, hardstand is down, and post holes are dug. Now, we need the materials ?
The site is behind the art room in a nice, safe, visible location, and a great size (10m by 3m by 2.5m high). There is room for plenty of loved bikes.
We are seeking donations of the following materials to construct the shed itself:
· 4 posts at 3m long
· 4 posts at 2.5m long
· Beams for the roof. Dimensions of 200mm by 40mm at 2.5m long or above. We will need a total of ~20m in lengths
· Corrugated iron for the walls and roof, lengths of 1m or more. Any colours welcome ?
· Timbers for roof and wall joists, 100mm by 50mm or similar.
If you don't have materials to spare but would be willing to make a donation for the purchase of some of the materials we will need to buy new, please contact the office.
We will be in touch about a working bee to get the build done once we have all materials ready.
