Fair Play Kitchen has organised a special dinner menu for CTK School families for this year's Welcome Event. To assist with catering and to avoid disappointment, families are asked to pre-order and pay for their meals online before Sunday, 23 February.
You can order your meal online here.
Please note: Meals may be ordered on the day, but it is the venue's strong preference for as many families as possible to pre-order.
Other Foods Available
The P&F will be selling fresh, hot popcorn throughout the event. Popcorn tickets can be pre-purchased from CTK School prior to the Welcome Event, in the same way as face painting tickets can be purchased, or from the Ticket Desk. EFTPOS is the preferred payment method.
Ice cream will also be available to purchase on the day.
Drinks
A wide range of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages will be available for guests to purchase. Purchases will be made from the dedicated indoor bar area (cash or EFTPOS payments).
Please note: Guests are not permitted to BYO alcoholic drinks.

- Wheelie bins will be spread around the venue for rubbish and recycling, including 10c Containers for Change recycling. Please take the time to sort your waste – the environment wins when we use the right bins.

These images will be used in CTK School and P&F communications, including on the school website and school and P&F social media pages.
