Welcome Back

I trust all families experienced an enjoyable school holidays. I certainly did.

I am sure the students are particularly excited about the new equipment installed in the Stage 1 playground. The final work will be completed this week and the students will be able to use it next Monday. A massive thank you to our fabulous hardworking P&C for providing the majority of the funds for this wonderful addition to our school.

May your week be full of joy! Michael
