This excites me very much and I look forward to continuing to lead our amazing school into the future. I would like to thank all students, staff and the community for your support over the last 7 years.

SCHOOL CONCERT
This year's school concert was better than ever. I was extremely proud of all children who performed on stage and tried their best. the songs were great to 'bop' along to and the dancing was fantastic. A special congratulations to the main cast who were outstanding actors.

Mary and Miss Holmes have certainly outdone themselves. Thank you to the both of them, along with all staff, parents and our wider community.
