Thank you!

The first term of 2021 has been a busy one with welcome activities for new families, the Foundation Day assembly to launch our school's 150th anniversary celebrations, Senior Cross Country snow cone stall (rescheduled for Monday, 22 March at the time of writing this report), Easter raffle, and lots of activity preparing for the school fete on Saturday, 22 May. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered and supported these P&C activities and others throughout the term and also to everyone who volunteers in countless other ways including through the Tuckshop, Uniform Shop and as Parent Reps for their children's classes. We can't thank you enough for your help and contribution to our school community.
