From the Library
A BIG thank you to Judith (Grandmother of Elise 3T & Lewis 6D) for contact covering lovely new books for the school library. The students love having new books to read and getting these new books contact covered and ready for borrowing is an ongoing task in libraries and one which is greatly assisted by the generous help of kind volunteers like Judith & Rani - Thank you Ladies!
Please contact me or the school Office if you are able to assist with covering books! Boxes of books are prepared for collection and can be completed at home then returned to the school library anytime!
