Our Infants students had a special visitor ride into school last week, and it wasn’t on a sleigh, but a bicycle! The big man in the red suit was bombarded with questions when he visited the class room. Wonder what the students said?.....

Our school is very lucky to have a wonderful team of volunteers. From canteen helpers, reading helpers, volunteers for school camps or any other activity around the school, and we would like to say a big THANK YOU!
