Mum and Me High Tea

Here's to all the Calrossy mums! We hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. We enjoyed celebrating with the Secondary mums at the annual Mum & Me High Tea last Thursday.  It was wonderful to see so many happy faces, after missing out last year. A big thank you to Naomi Turner for spearheading this event once again and all the staff who supported in the planning and set up. There are plenty more photos on The Hub.

 

William Cowper Campus Earthworks

 

Earthworks at WCC
Earthworks at WCC

Many of our families will already know through their children that the temporary fencing has been installed at the rear of the Junior School oval and to the basketball courts, along with a large area behind the Bishop Peter Chiswell Hall. This is all part of important pre works that involve relocating stored soil to be used for upcoming projects on the campus. The first phase of the construction is a new multi court area,  expected to be ready for September. The works at the rear of the hall into 280 Moore Creek Road are part of a longer term project. The school has taken the opportunity, while having machinery on site, to relocate this soil  so we are ready when those projects are approved. Calrossy is flexible with the fencing and agile to move with the schedules of work. These safety barriers are in place during busy times and when the works are scaled down to the construction phase we will be in a better position to provide more space for our students. Thanks for your understanding.

 

Kind Regards

Michael Wilson
