Last Thursday night, our school choir participated in the Northern Choir Music
Festival. I would like to show my appreciation first and foremost to the students for their dedication not only with their impressive performance on the night but also to their hard work throughout the year. I would also like to thank Pam Warner and the Staff of John Hartley,
Parents/Caregivers and the community for their support and attendance at this fantastic night. NAPLAN
