Dear parents & caregivers, A huge thank you!! "The Garden to Table" picnic was such a huge success. Thanks for providing us with the essentials that we needed for the picnic. We had plenty of food that we will have decided to eat some for tomorrow as well. The students had so much fun harvesting the produce,  preparing the salad and then eat it along with one another. Thanks again. Please note: Tomorrow is Mufti Day as it is  Prize giving night. School finishes early at 2 in the afternoon. Please do come early & pick up your child. Students need to come for the Prize giving night in their full school uniform. The venue will be open from  5.30 onwards. A Pod will be performing a Christmas Carol. Do come & enjoy. Will see you all tomorrow.
