Dear Parents,

We are very excited to be back and up and running for 2025.

The Parent's Association is really excited to have had a number of new faces at meetings and generously offer their time to particular roles over the past 12 months.

 

We are however still looking for a couple more members to fill some vacant roles.

Whether it's the twinkle in your eye, the glitter on your clothes, or the glow of your smile, we want everyone to light up the night! Come dressed in your most dazzling outfits—think glitter and sequins, metallic colors like gold and silver, bright and neon shades even WHITE, and accessories like shiny hats, glowing jewelry, and light-up shoes.
