Book Week

Last week we had Book Week, it was great to see lots of parents for our open afternoon were we read books together and got to share our favourites! The Book Week dress up and parade on Friday was a great full stop on the week and seeing all the students dressed up as their favourite character was fabulous. A big thank you to all the parents and carers for their effort helping their children and supporting the parade.
