Mrs Pip Smith, President
Junior School P&F Barn Dance
The Junior School P&F Barn Dance on Saturday 19 August was a HUGE success with 250 families kicking up their heels to the sounds of the Outback Bush Band. It was a delight to see the fun had by all as they swung around the dance floor and played games in the breaks.
In a wonderful combined effort, we were able to raise over $10,000 to support upgrading the Junior School facilities in the Glasshouse and Area 51.
A warm thank you to all of our parents for bringing their families along. Thanks also to everyone who supported our raffle by donating prizes and purchasing tickets.
