There are some amazing items up for grabs, check out our Facebook page for more details. Our senior classes will also be attending Topec and we have a variety of sports lessons planned for every class.

It is often at this time of the year that the students need new pens, glue sticks, etc. Can you please check in with your child to see if they need any new stationery before the start of the term.
