We reflected on Remembrance Day with a prayer and service last Friday in the main quadrangle. The students were reverent and respectful of this special time and I would like to thank Henry Page (Year 6) for his part in the service in which he read beautifully. Our thanks to Ms Galvin for organising this event for our students.
Christmas Appeal – Thank you to all the families who have been able to contribute to our Christmas Appeal and well done to boys who have been participating in Chores for Charity. Keep up the good work. This appeal will finish during Week 8.
