CLASS CATCH UPS

If you and your classmates get together, we would love to receive photos of the group for publishing in the newsletter and Facebook Group. 

Photos should be labelled so that others will recognise their classmates whom they may not have seen for some time. 

Photos can be sent to Melanie Lynch, our Admin Officer:  thistle@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au
