EXTRA CURRICULAR - TERM 4
Parents will see Sentral messages, Facebook posts and dedicated parts of the Newsletter advertising upcoming extracurricular activities (such as Choir, Craft Club, Sketching Club, Circus, Library and School Spectacular Dance). We continue to do this so parents are kept informed of when things are occurring so you can encourage your child to attend and participate.
