Graduation Photos 

We would like to share a photo gallery of the graduating class on graduation night. We require 2 photos of your child to show how they have grown up into the students we know today. These photos can be emailed to Amy Hughes (hughes.amy@goldengrove.sa.edu.au). Please include a baby photo and first day of school photo. Please have these in by the end of Term 3.  

Just a reminder students need to have a fully charged iPad, a keyboard, headphones and a drink bottle every day.
