A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
Welcome back. It has been such a joy seeing our students happy to return and eager for the remaining 9 weeks of the academic year.
It has certainly been a busy start to term, and I want to extend a big thank you to Ms. Jayne and the PE team for kicking off Sports Week, and to Mr Glenn and Mr. Max for putting together an exciting E-Sports showcase. Meanwhile, Year 6 are gearing up for Madagascar the musical, and we would be delighted if you could join us for one of the performances on May 8th or 10th.
On other news, on Monday we had a most unusual visitor to one of our Foundation Stage classrooms – a green tree snake! He was captured overnight and returned to the wild. His visit certainly provoked a lot of interest from our youngest students!
