Weekly update: 29.11.24

Thank you to all our families for support the children and the school to celebrate our 'Proud To Be Day'. The children have talked about what they are proud to be and have loved sharing languages, clothes, hobbies and sports and cultures. Thanks to those of you who support by offering up your time by talking to the children and baking/cooking special food for our food fair (or just for the children to share). We really appreciate your time and effort - Thank you.
