A Message From Anna
Halfway to a Celebration Day!
Congratulations to our students for displaying so much Ambition, Compassion, Courage and Creativity this term, already earning 22 Birds, largely due to the Ambition and Compassion they've been showing in looking after our temporary toilets. We can't wait to see how well they look after our new toilets once they're finished!
