2019 FIREWOOD ORDERS ARE NOW OPEN!

Why not grab your firewood from us this year? 
​ALL PROCEEDS GO BACK TO THE SCHOOL! 

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE (Orders will need to be placed and paid for ahead of delivery days, we will not be dealing with cash on the day thanks).

• Cypress Pine at $125 per m2  - split and dry from last year and stored under cover
• An additional service to stack wood into your woodshed or preferred location is $30 for the first m2 (and $10 for subsequent m2).
• Delivery is FREE to any Coatesville Student Family, within the area (from Riverhead, Dairy Flat and Albany).
• If you live outside this area we can give you a delivery-fee estimate on request.
• Once you have placed your order we will be in touch with a delivery date.
  
  

If you would like to place an order please call Bronwyn on 021 022 15859 with the following details:
​

• How much you would like to order (per m2). 
• If you would like to have your wood stacked too.
• Your full name, address and mobile numbers.
• If you have any dogs on the property, or if we need to know of any access difficulties (steep or hidden
• ​driveway etc).
• The name of your eldest child currently at Coatesville School (to qualify for the FREE delivery).

PLEASE MAKE PAYMENT IN ADVANCE WITH YOUR FULL NAME AS REFERENCE TO: The PFA 12-3059-0341655-00

*We will also be using a metre squared bottomless frame (right), to accurately measure out each 1m2 so to avoid any concerns of miss measures like what can happen easily with firewood suppliers. Wood is currently wet-weathered but dry.

Big Shout Out for more people!

Come join in the fun with us at the Friends of The School (FOTS!), it's really a fab way to get to know more people and be involved in our awesome school.

Whether you can offer a little or a lot, we'd love to have you involved. Most of us have other work commitments and we all know the time involved in leading busy family lives too, so whatever you can offer, we would really appreciate it.

We've had a few people leave, so pretty keen to get a good team together for this year. Whether you help us out on a sausage sizzle, school disco or after school cafe, if you can just help out for a small period of time then that's fine, there is no obligation to join either but most of us find, once we're involved it's really easy to manage and heaps of fun too.

So, come along to one of our forthcoming meetings and see what it's all about. Look forward to seeing you at some of our catch ups soon!
