On Friday 18 February, we will be hosting a morning tea for all new students in Years 1 to 6. Children will meet Mrs. Fellowes and Mrs. Corness on Leopard Terrace to share their experiences of their first two weeks in their new school. Morning tea will be provided for the children. We look forward to hearing how they have settled in and discuss how they can become involved in their new school community.
