Last night we held our Christmas Concert which was a wonderful community celebration. There were some memorable performances and feedback from the evening has been very positive. The Junior School students were particularly impressive and really rose to the occasion. Thank you to the many, many families who were able to make the concert. The positivity, energy and joy felt in the RJ Wallace Hall was exactly what Christmas celebrations should be about. A huge thank you must go to all the teachers involved in helping the night run smoothly.
We now turn our attention to the remainder of our end of year activities. Please see below for details.
