Our Prayer This Week
From the Principal
Dear parents, carers and community members,
We are in the midst of a very busy time at school with major events on each day. Perhaps the largest of these was the school performance of AbracaDABra last week. It was a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and share the talents of the students. Thank you to Kristy McKenzie for coordinating the show with her two assistants at school, Paula McKenzie and Annie Judd. The costumes were coordinated by Gemma, Hannah and Mel and Rachel worked with our singers. The staff did a wonderful job preparing the children and our parents got involved with each of the shows.
