It has truly been a fantastic start to Year One. We have been extremely busy settling into brand new routines, which we are continuing to master. The students have embraced all new learning tasks with such a positive attitude and are very keen to do their best. It has been an absolute pleasure to witness this and we know that we will have a great year together.

Thank you so much for your support and for assisting to make the transition into Year One a smooth one.

We are looking forward to what the year has to bring.
