Alleluia! He is risen!  

 

I hope that Easter was a time for family, rest, and a reflection on the way you can live the Easter story of Jesus’ resurrection and hope in your daily life.

 

“Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, 

who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said." 

(Mt 28: 5-6).

 

 

I wish to offer my thanks to everyone for supporting Frances Reynolds in my absence, for maintaining our school improvement agenda and for keeping our children safe.

  

 

It's great to be back and see our enrolments increase.

A special welcome to Harrison Dawes and his family to our school community.
