On behalf of the staff at the school I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We all very much appreciate the support that you have offered the school over the past year, and look forward to more of the same in 2025.
Please see a very short weekly update, along with some known dates for Term 3.
Christmas Service
The school will attend a Christmas Service at Shepherd’s Way Church today (Friday 20th December). Families and members of the community are also invited to attend. The start time for this service is 10am, and members of the community are invited to stay afterwards for refreshments. We look forward to seeing some of you there.
Staffing
Today is Tessa Cooper’s last day with us, and we are very sorry to see her go. Tessa has been working with us as a PSA for the last few months and has quickly established herself as an important member of our team. Thank you Tessa for all of your hard work, and all the very best!
Festive Walk
Yesterday we took almost the whole school for a festive walk through the village. It was lovely to see our youngsters interacting with members of the community and wishing them a Merry Christmas. We stopped in at the Square and enjoyed singing a few Christmas Songs. Thank you to the parent volunteers who joined us on the walk, and thank you to those who came to listen.
