Parents & Friends Club

Welcome Event

Our Welcome Event last Friday was a fantastic way to kick off the year, with families coming together to enjoy great food, music and a relaxed evening of connection. The weather held out perfectly, and it was wonderful to see so many new and returning families chatting, laughing and starting the year on such a positive note.

 

A big thank you to our amazing committee of helpers who worked behind the scenes to make the night run so smoothly, from setting up and packing down to supporting vendors and capturing photos. We truly appreciate everyone who attended and helped create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

See you at the next event!

Sam, Elima, Carly, Sophie and Borris
