Working Bees this weekend

We will be running 2 working bees at the new kinder site at East Bentleigh Primary School (Bignell Rd, East Bentleigh) this weekend.


We are running the first working bee on Saturday 24th Feb from about 8.30 am. We'll be constructing a section of timber fencing and finishing off building the sandpit. If you have any basic timber skills and can come along, that would be particularly helpful, but don't be put off if you don't have any woodworking skills or aren't especially handy because there are other things that need doing too. Please bring along the following if you have them: drill, driver, circular saw, belt sander, workbench, tape measure, hammers, rubber gloves, shovels and trowels, wheelbarrows, polyfiller and spatula for applying it.


The second working bee will be on Sunday 25th Feb from 9 am. We'll be preparing the interior of the building for painting work, digging a pathway, and perhaps starting on some painting inside the building, and staining some sections of the fence (depending on the weather). Please bring along the following if you have them - rubber gloves, buckets, rags for cleaning, broom, scrapers, sandpaper, paint brushes, canvas drop sheets, shovels, wheelbarrows, polyfiller and spatula for applying it.


Please wear solid footwear and old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty - we're working on a building site, there are obstacles around and it's very dusty.


If you can help at any of these working bees, please contact me on:


9521 8278/0425 739 529, rachel@careythomas.com.au


Please contact me to let me know you can attend, so that I can ensure we have the right number of people and advise you of any last minute changes.


Please note that children are not allowed on the new kinder site during the working bee as it is a building site and not safe for children. Older children are welcome to play in the school playgrounds outside the working bee site.


Thank you for your help.
