Dear Families,
What glorious weather we are experiencing across this past week!! How blessed are we!!
Thank you to everyone for your support with the school photos held on Monday! SchoolPix will send us your 'photo orders' in the coming weeks and we will distribute accordingly.
You are still able to order photos online.
Thank you to the many families from Foundation and Year 6 who came to our 'Clapping in and Year 6 Badge ceremony' last Thursday. It was a beautiful occasion.
May we always be a school full of welcome, compassion and support!
