It has been a busy few weeks for Friday Feast lunch times. We have welcomed back school students for lunches on a rotating basis with younger children one week and older children the next.
We bid farewell to our Year 6 helpers, at the end of November they are venturing off to middle school next year. It has been an absolute pleasure to have 4 Year 6 students from Milang Campus come to Friday Feast each week to assist with any food preparation, table setting and serving of food. They have been helpful, fun to have around and it has been lovely to see them grow in confidence as they have gotten to know some of our Friday Feast regulars. We will miss them but hope to welcome another group of Year 6 children next year.
On 6th December we had a delicious Christmas lunch of roast turkey and Christmas pudding. There was Christmas music and bon-bons, tinsel and colourful Christmas placemats to create a festive table. There were a few entertaining moments as some tried to relive their younger day yo-yo skills with the toys from the bon bons!
The Friday Feast has been a regular opportunity to gather over a lovely meal supported as always by wonderful volunteers who work tirelessly with staff to make it happen. Special thanks to Cherie, Denise, Greg, June, Karen, Karyn, Lorraine, Sue, Reen & Yessama for your help this year. Friday Feast will return in 2025 and we are looking to provide some transport for those that need it.
