Dear Families
We have had another busy week and our students have been wonderful in their positive attitude and commitment.
This afternoon’s picnic was a joy. Lots of smiling faces, kindness, sharing of food (mainly sweets)and three ice cream vans! Next week sees the arrival of the ‘skittles’ (Year 6) for their transition week and we are looking forward to welcoming them to our community.
