You are welcome to contact the school and the General Assistant will show you what is available. Our P&C meeting was held on Wednesday Night, with the new executive and was attended by a large group of enthusiastic parents. Lots of ideas and volunteers, which was exciting! The Fireworks meeting continued and promises to be even bigger and brighter this year. There will be more information to follow, from ‘the task force’.
