Father's Day, Special Person's Day Stall Monday 26th August
Parent volunteers have already generously given their time to selecting gifts from a catalogue for this magnificent stall. Sincere thanks to our amazing parents and carers who are working hard behind the scenes to make this happen for our students. A huge THANK YOU also to parents and carers who have plans to assist at the stall. If you would like to assist, please contact our office.
