CHILD SAFETY STATEMENT
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Carers,
Folkie week is upon us! If you're going, call in to the St. Patrick's BBQ to say hi and pick up a low cost sausage, hamburger or egg & bacon roll. Thank you to all who have volunteered to work or who have donated drinks etc. It's been a wonderful response.
Today is our Arts Teacher Hannah Wilson's last day before putting her feet up and waiting for the arrival of a new baby. We wish her, Joel and Teddy all the best. We look forward to meeting their new addition soon to their family.
Thank you to the parents who cooked the yummy pancakes on Tuesday.
