Community Information
From School Council
Earlier this week a Compass message was forwarded by Marcus Walsh (School Council President) and Bianca Dhollander (Parents’ and Friends’ Association President) to the school community asking anyone who would like to contribute to message of appreciation for Leanne can do so via a combined card and gift. The link below allows a written message, photo or drawing to be included in your message of gratitude. There is also an option to contribute, without any obligation, to a combined financial gift from the school community. The link for contributions will close at Midday 31st October. https://app.grouptogether.com/FamiliesgratitudemessagesforLeanne. We will consolidate all messages and gifts and present these to Leanne on her last day, Friday November 4th.
