We hope the dads, step dads, pa's, grandad's, uncles, brothers and male guardian's in our students families enjoyed a very special day last Sunday!

We also thought it would be great for everyone to see all the entries we had for our Father's day competition, and the wonderful things that each child that entered wrote about their dad.

There were 3 winners who each received a Bunnings Voucher to buy themselves something handy!
