MOTHER’S DAY STALL

We are very excited to be holding our annual Mother’s Day Stall on Friday 8th May. With over 400 students needing to visit the stall, we are asking students to bring in their money by Thursday 7th May. This will help us to streamline things and ensure everyone gets an opportunity to visit the stall. Unfortunately with our growing student numbers, we are unable to take IOUs from students for purchasing gifts. Any parents who are able to help set up or run the stall, are asked to contact the office. Toddler sales will be in the undercover area from 3pm on Friday 8th of May.

PREP MOTHERS DAY VISITS

We are excited to invite all Prep Mothers and Grandmothers to a very special Mother’s Day Celebration on Monday May 4th from 9:00-10:00am, please meet in the school community space. You will then join in some craft activities with your child before a picnic style fruit snack (Feel free to bring a picnic blanket). This event is a way to thank the wonderful women who play such an important role in the lives of our Prep students.
