Year 1 Update

What a special 2 weeks we have had! It was fabulous to see so many mother's and special others at our annual breakfast. Students had a great time making a little gift for their special person to show how 'tea-riffic' and 'beau -tea-ful' they are.
The weather has certainly been a challenge over the past few weeks so please remember to pack a clearly named jumper, jacket and beanie for your children.
