Playgroup

On Monday Week 10 (last week of school): 16 December 2024 we will have our Playgroup’s Christmas PARTY in the St Martha’s School Hall (upstairs) from 8:50am to 10am. The children will make a Christmas Craft. Feel free to invite a friend and their babies / toddlers / preschoolers to join us.

If you’d like to bring a nut-free plate to share for the Playgroup Christmas Party’s morning tea, we would be very grateful. Thank you 🙂
