Congratulations to our Year 6 Gymnasts!
|
A huge congratulations to our Year 6 Gymnastics team, who represented our school with pride and skill at the Champion of Champions tournament. You should all be very proud of your hard work and performance. A special thank you must go to Mr G for his outstanding guidance and coaching of this team. Well done, everyone!
|
|
A Note on Health and Wellbeing
|
As is common this term, we have seen an increase in sickness across the school. We kindly ask for your continued support in keeping our community healthy by ensuring your child stays at home if they are feeling unwell. Your cooperation helps minimise the spread of winter bugs and ensures a safer learning environment for all our students and staff.
|
Thank you for your ongoing partnership in your child's education.
