Blood Testing Break
Our lovely phlebotomist is taking a short break until returning to take your samples from January 29.
Save Your Aluminium Cans
The Darkan Primary School wants your aluminium cans for recycling and to help with fund-raising.
They can be dropped off into the wool pack collection bin in the car park on the south side of the canteen/assembly building.
Please put only cans in the can bin – tip them out of the container you have collected them in and take the container home to refill or dispose of it in an appropriate bin at home or school.
