Please make sure that your contact details are up to date at the welcome desk tomorrow, especially your email address. In the event that someone is diagnosed with Coronavirus we will contact everyone via email so that necessary steps can be taken. We are also asking visitors to leave their contact details so that we can get in touch if required. Morning tea will be served from the kitchen with utensils. Parents, please serve your children rather than allowing them to serve themselves. Please be diligent in matters of hygiene, hand washing, etc. Thanks for your help in keeping our community safe!

04.01.2022 We have made the difficult decision to suspend our Mainly Music sessions for the remainder of this term, in an effort to keep our community healthy.

Please do join this group, so we can support one another.
