A message from Julie

It was lovely to see and speak with many families at sports day last week. The weather was perfect for the day and student participation and team spirit was a highlight for me. Watching students fill in for other teams, cheering each other on and encouraging everyone to do their best was certainly a wonderful sight and added to the atmosphere of the day. A special thanks to the parents who helped to set up and pack up, the families who baked or donated items to the bake sale and to those who organised and volunteered their time. Thanks also to Kieran and the Sports Committee for their work leading up to Sports Day. A great day was had by all.

It is hard to believe that we have reached the end of Term 1 already. It has been a busy and very rewarding term and I am very much looking forward to term 2.

Wishing you all a happy and safe break with your families.

Julie

GARDEN CLUB

Garden Club - Week 8

We had beautiful weather for our Garden Club crew in Week 8. Rihan J2, Anaya J3, Sascha P2, Ashira P7 and Samson P10 did a great job of clearing our second garden bed. They planted some cherry tomatoes and onions and we could already see some of the flowers planted from our last Garden Club starting to shoot through.
