I would like to wish everybody a safe and happy holiday.
I hope that all of our students get the chance to read some great books over their well deserved vacation. Reading is a great way to relax as well as supporting the retention of knowledge over the vacation period by keeping the brain active.
We look forward to 2019, including celebrations for the school’s 20th anniversary.Principal Jason McGrath
