Tonight was an enchanted evening, with songs, stories, photos and lollies with Santa; who came all the way from the North Pole! Santa listened to every girl and boy, and they all promised to be good. Everyone had photos with Santa then it was time for Santa to fly away to get ready for Christmas Eve! We would like to wish one and all a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year.

12.01.2022 As you will be probably aware, the West Australian State Government has announced the introduction of a mandatory requirement to maintain a ‘contact register’ of visitors at certain establishments.
