Chaplain's Corner 2023
Kya Marangaroo Community,
It has been fantastic to be able to support the school community during term 4. I wish you all a beautiful festive season, stay safe and don’t forget sunscreen.
Below is a list of things you can look at if you get stuck with bored kiddies at home.
Kind regards
Liesl
