CHRISTMAS FAMILY FUN NIGHT

Thank you to all the families who came along last Friday night for the

Christmas Family Fun Night. The new covered area in the quadrangle

looked very festive with all the children’s Christmas craft used as

decorations. The items performed by the classes were most enjoya-

ble, as were the BBQ and refreshments. Despite poor sound quality

in the hall for our movie session, all reports are that the audience

was very impressed by the talents (both performing and technology)

shown in and by the movies. Congratulations to all the budding actors

and Steven Spielbergs in our school. The raffle winners were :

1st- Mrs Phillips (from the Front Office); 2nd- Patrick Bagnell (1/2A);

3rd- Serena Jones (KB).
