Prep Update

The preps had a lovely time dressing up as something or someone starting with the first letter of their names. Dress up days are always an exciting time for the children and teachers.

We cannot believe that we have reached the end of Term 1 already! We hope you all have a safe and happy Easter break and we can't wait to see you all back for another fun and exciting Term 2.
