Year Five/Six News
Year 5 students have been demonstrating their courage this week when presenting their House Captain Speeches on Tuesday to their House group. We would like to congratulate all of our future leader nominees and wish them the best of luck over the next stages of the process.
Tomorrow, Thursday 23rd of November, the Year 5 students running for the 2024 School Captain Roles will be presenting their speeches to the Year 3-6 students.
