Record Day at Northbridge on Saturday

WOW! What a HUGE day it was at Northbridge on Saturday…It was the BIGGEST day at the Canteen in more than two years!! Close to 2,000 transactions were processed through the tills, which is extremely impressive.

I want to say a BIG thank you to Lisa and Justin Chambers, who took the reins of the Canteen on Saturday in my absence! They worked tirelessly all day to ensure everything ran to plan and exceeded all expectations!

A BIG thank you must also go to the following parents who volunteered and filled the slots on the roster:

Belinda Atkinson, Sally Spencer, Cassie Scougall, Dan Howard, Nicola Allen, Lyn Barp, Claudia Perkins, Gayle Marks, Phil Kingdom, Alex Malcolm, Richard Malcolm, Janie Albert, Justine Molloy, Melissa Bergin, Rachel Defina, Allison Deans, Kate Lewis, Mark Fuzes, Angus Buckley, Kate Bain, Dominique Hill, Cherie Penney, Rachel Hadfield, Ingrid Nott, Scott Wagstaff, Will Gaden, Carolyn Ryan, Emma Kenny, John Kenny, Jo Molchanoff, Tim Molchanoff, Mal Nutt, Richard Fairclough, Bridget Hall, Prue Crookes, Nikki Bannister, Suellen Cope, Kirsty Betar, Liane Gilliam, Prue Wade, Shaun Feely, Khali Horwood, Kerri Warner, Brendan Warner, Jodi Stacker, Justeen Dormer, Helen Cathies, Penny Ferguson, Moy Ferguson, Doug Ferguson, Kate Juniper, Linda Mackellar, Jo Stiel, Sandie Hogarth-Scott, Elliot Shadforth, Nick Roberts, Elizabeth Parker, Kate Whitney, Yang Li, Sharon Cheers, Jason Cheers, Ed Nicholas, Andrew Pellow and Andrew Burgess.

While it was very busy on Saturday, I also heard it was an extremely fun day that saw our school community come together and work exceptionally well as a team. It is obvious by the number of items sold that it wasn’t just our boys and school community that enjoyed the hospitality on offer, but also our visitors, Joeys.

I would also like to thank our Headmaster, Dr Collier, for supporting the SPA Canteens and his “call to arms message” to our parent community last week. The SignUp Roster for the Canteen has never filled so quickly.

Thank you again for being so generous with your time and for supporting our wonderful Canteen that has gained the reputation of being “the Best Canteen in the GPS”! Our Old Boy Baristas also contribute to our success, so let’s all continue to work together to keep that title!!

I look forward to welcoming many of you again to the Canteen during the winter season, and for those who could not find a spot last Saturday, I look forward to seeing you in the Canteen this week!
