Weigall Sports Canteen
The Sydney Grammar School Athletics Championships held on Wednesday 20 March was a very busy day for everyone involved. A big thank you to all our volunteers for their time and for the delicious food donations. There will be plenty more opportunities to volunteer at our upcoming Saturdays at Weigall after the term break. Please check the SGSWA website if you are able to volunteer or donate food and please feel free to stop by if you are around.
The next Weigall Canteen Day is Saturday 11 May from 7:30am-2:30pm. Please use the following link to sign up. All food donations are welcome. Please click here to indicate what food you will bring. It is not mandatory to use the list but it will help the volunteers with planning what items will be available on the day as well as give you an idea of what might be needed. A mix of sweet and savoury is always appreciated. Items can be homemade or store bought. Please drop off items after 7:00am at the Weigall Canteen and ensure that all containers that need to be returned are labelled with your name and mobile number.
EFTPOS is available on Saturdays at the Canteen. In support of the Grammar Green Team, you are also encouraged to bring your own reusable cups for hot drinks. Sydney Grammar School reusable cups will be for sale at the Canteen. The first hot drink is free and you are encouraged to use the cups at future events.

They raised $917 from sales and donations. Thank you also to Mr Rollo Hesketh, Master of the Lower House for attending and welcoming the new parents to the School.
Literary Lunch – Friday 10 May
Our annual Literary Lunch will be held on Friday 10 May at the Boatshed. This year we are delighted to have Australian Novelist, Editor and Performer, Jessica Dettmann, to present her book, How to Be Second Best. Thank you Wendy Searle for securing Jessica Dettmann as a speaker. Tickets will go on sale on Monday 1 April for SGSWA members and then to the public via the School’s Newsletter on Wednesday 3 April. Please book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets are $70 per person and we have allocated one ticket per person. You may nominate up to two names of whom you may wish to sit with and we will do our best to have you seated together.
We will also be running a silent auction at the Literary Lunch. Do you have items to donate that the SGSWA could use as a prize for the fundraiser? Holiday packages, wines, books, jewellery, handbags to suggest a few. Please let us know if you can contribute to the prize pool by sending an email to Sharmila Soorian at sharmila.soorian@ihug.com.au. All silent auction proceeds and contributions will be donated to Share the Dignity, a charity for women.
