25.01.2022 Congratulations to all of students who were award recipients this week! Well done!

24.01.2022 R U OK? "Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh. There was a pause. "Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.... "No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do." "That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. "What are you doing?" asked Pooh. "Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either. "But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh." And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right." A.A. Milne Sending thoughts to everyone having a Difficult Day today. May you have your own Piglet to sit beside you

21.01.2022 From Miss Moreton: Just want to give a huge shout out to these ladies who stepped outside their comfort zones, took a leap of faith and tried something new this year. If this year has taught me anything it has been that It’s really important as busy mums that we take the time for self care. Being with you each week was a highlight for me. Seeing us develop as a team and improve our skills made me so proud. I’ve loved every minute. Special mention to our young guns Lucy and Jess who lead the way which is awesome on its own. We missed you tonight Karen Cacopardo and Jess Cameron but you were there in spirit. Love you ladies. Can’t wait for next year! Well done Celulites!! - we are proud of you!!
