Families Week

Thank you for supporting families week. The children learned about different types of families and our school hall was packed with grandparents and children for our special afternoon tea. There was a fantastic atmosphere with many cakes consumed and teapots refilled. We were also very busy for our ‘significant female’ in school morning session. Thank you to all the mums and other significant female family members who came.
