This term we have been extremely lucky to have Miss Cupitt here two days a week and covering leave for some of our teachers. I just wanted to thank Miss Cupitt for all her hard work this term, having her here has provided consistency and stability for our students and given our staff extra planning time. She has been a huge help and I’m sure she will be back in our classrooms often next term. We had a wonderful Pyjama Day last week. Thanks to all of your donations our SRC raised $148 for sandpit equipment for our playground.
