20.01.2022 No matter how busy your Christmas Day will be, spare a thought for the parents spending half the night on Christmas Eve putting together cubby houses, monkey ba...rs, swing sets and trampolines! Here’s to the arguments, barked knuckles, missing parts and Allen keys - we know it’s all worth it!

19.01.2022 2020 Year 6 Camp was a wonderful experience, helped by a very active, energetic fundraising group of parents and carers. Now it’s time to get behind our 2021 Year 6 families. Camp will be in August next year so this group has a shorter timeframe but they are not short of ideas and enthusiasm. Icy poles after school are always popular and a pre-paid card will mean you won’t need cash in the afternoons. ... Looking for an end of year or Christmas gift? How about a chocolate gift box?
