Earlier in the term, many of our families enjoyed attending the special free event put on your our community as a part of the Children’s International Film Festival.
This festival is ongoing and this Saturday there is an extra special screening of the new film telling the story of 'Mr Chicken goes to Mars' by the renowned Australian children's author Leigh Hobbs.
