From the Wellbeing Deputy

Volunteers Breakfast

We would like to acknowledge all the volunteers who have helped support our St Paul Community. From Class Carers to sport coaches, reading, excursions, camps, swimming, Sports Day and everything in between, we know these events would not be possible without the incredible help and support of volunteers. To show our gratitude, we would like to extend an invitation to all our wonderful volunteers who have helped throughout the year at St Paul. Our Volunteers Breakfast will be Friday 6 December (Week 8) in the Hall before school from 8:30-9am followed by our General Presentation Assembly. Please see the invitation attached for RSVP information.

And you’ll find the reassurance you need to know that he’s probably doing just fine – even if he does seem a little hard to get to know now and then.
