Dear Families,
How fantastic have the Matilda's been across the World Cup. How exciting was their quarter final match against France! I am sure that many of us were full of nerves during the penalty shoot. But what a brilliant win, and one that brings our Nation together. Let's hope that they continue to do their best this evening. May they continue to be a source of inspiration for all of us.
