Grandparents' Day 2024

​Thank you to the grandparents who came to our Grandparents’ Day celebration in the school hall Friday the 2nd of February 2024.  The student council and the readers from each class did a magnificent job on the day.   The children showed their artwork to their grandparents afterwards.  Our grandparents enjoyed a cup of tea and a biscuit too.  Thank you to those of you who shared precious photos of your child’s grandparents.
