Ann Hoglund said… Hi Ellen, Ann Hoglund here, I am at Kaiapoi North School, our branch hosts a Support Staff breakfast which the branch subsidise, ususally about 100 people attend (Ashley Branch).
Christchurch Branch usually host a dinner, although I don't know what the plan will be this year.
Worksites - the teachers usually acknowledge the SS - the children make cards, the staff sometimes put on morning tea, some worksites give their SS a little treat.
Every worksite is so different - depends on your staff.
Have a good day
