For our families
Pilgrim School is a community of students, staff, parents, care givers and extended family. Student learning is maximised when each of these groups work together and Pilgrim School encourages partnership between school and home.
Below you will find a range of information to assist you across many areas of our school life.
We offer a playgroup for all parents with children from birth to school age. This is a wonderful opportunity, provided by one of our Early Years teachers, for your child to explore and play, with a different theme each week.
Please view the Blossom & Belong Playgroup page for more information.
The Campus Canteen operates daily. Orders can be made by placing money in a paper bag into the Canteen box in your child’s classroom at the beginning of the day or via the Qkr! App before 9am.
If ordering manually, the bag must clearly state:
- student’s name
- classroom number (e.g. P3/4H)
- items ordered and their prices
- amount of money enclosed
If ordering electronically via Qkr!, please ensure you have registered each child in their correct class to aid delivery. Orders can be placed for multiple children and paid at the same time via Visa or Mastercard. Please see information about using Qkr! to order here – Qkr! Canteen Instructions
Canteen monitors collect lunches before eating time.
Students can buy some snacks and ice blocks etc at both recess and lunchtime over the counter at the canteen.
Each term there is a Special Day when different foods are offered at the Canteen.
Please note the Canteen is closed to over-the-counter purchases on days when there is no outdoor play due to rain. On extreme heat days, only ice blocks, ice creams and slushies can be ordered over-the-counter.
The Campus Canteen is always looking for volunteers to assist with orders and sales. A ‘Working with Children’ Check is required. Please contact Pilgrim’s Front Office if you are interested in volunteering at the Canteen or complete the Canteen Volunteers Form and return to the Front Office.
