Just over a week ago, we celebrated Father's Day with our annual Father's Day Breakfast. It was a lovely morning and it was wonderful to see so many families joining us for the celebration. We had a special performance from the school band and drew the lucky door prize. The raffle winner was Tommy King. Thank you to all the families that came along to support our school. And a big thank you to the staff for all their support. We would also like to thank McLeods for donating all the bread.
