Grade 1 and 2
MONT DE LANCEY
On Friday 24th May 2024 the Grade 1 and 2 students of Andersons Creek Primary School went back in time to the 1900s. Everyone was dressed to the ages, looking oh so dapper and exquisite.

A big thank you to our parent volunteers Nikki, Sonya and Kimberley and our preservice teacher Michele for supporting us on the day, we cannot do this without the support from our parent community.
Enjoy the long weekend!
