Our 2022 Speech Day was a wonderful way to celebrate a year of learning at the Junior School.

“A huge thankyou to Junior School families for contributing so generously to the Uniting Church Hamper Appeal. Pictured are Will and Sophie Satchell packing donations into bags for distribution to those in need. Our recipients are mostly single people who attend our Tuesday lunch prepared at the Church. Tuesday meals will not run over the Christmas period so all packages will be much appreciated to see people through the Christmas period and will be the basis of their Christmas lunch. Your kindness is much appreciated.” – Heather from the Uniting Church
