Open Morning for EducationWeek

This year we will be celebrating Education Week on Thursday 23rd May with a school wide open morning (please see below for specific campus information). We would love to see as many families as possible attend to visit their child’s classroom. Our students would love to showcase their learning with you and share the things they are working on in their rooms. During the week classes will also be participating in a nationwide Simultaneous Reading session of ‘Alpaca’s with Maracas’ and exploring the Education Week theme of ‘Celebrating Careers’.
