We are also very keen for new parents & carers to join the p&f committee-please come along to our next meeting on Thursday 1st June at 2pm at school. All very welcome!

Toast is available each morning between 8:30am-8:50am prior to the commencement of the school day for those students who would like a piece before they begin their learning.

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers who enable this to happen! If you would like to volunteer, please let Clare, Jo or Krystal in the office know!
