Fair Committee Update

During the week all parents and carers were invited to a meeting to find out more about the School Fair, and ways in which they might support this exciting school event. The meeting was a great success and we had great support and interest from a range of parents and carers from across the school.

It’s your time to “SHINE”  at Our School Disco 2025! 🌟 Rescheduled for Friday May 23

Dear Parents

Thank you all for your understanding of the need for the Disco to be postponed. We have locked in a new date, Friday May 23 and will reach out agin in the new term to reconfirm volunteers that can help out.

Kind regards,

The Disco 2025 team
