Well done to all of our creative and talented participants.  Prizes will be awarded to the winners at the beginning of next term! 

This week students are being reminded to search for and return their overdue Library books!  Reminders will be issued at the start of Term 4 in order to keep borrowing current and disappointments minimal. Thank you for your support!
