Food Fair
On Sunday the weather played its part beautifully on our 3rd annual Food Fair. We enjoyed good crowds and fantastic food which helped make it a success. The Home and School Committee would like to thank everyone who donated money, donated cakes for the cake wheel, parents who helped set up and everyone who tidied up at the end of the day. Any suggestions for improvement for next year are welcome. You can view photos of the day by going to
Thank you for supporting our tree planting fundraiser on Cape Wanbrow. Unfortunately we have not had enough support to make a minimum order for the four designs or to be in time for sprint planting for the whole project. Hopefully the head students next year might continue the work and there will be more support so the planting can happen in spring. A refund will be forwarded to you.
Thank you - Head Students 2017
