School Cross Country Carnival
Last Thursday we were very fortunate to have our first whole school carnival for nearly 18 months, with the weather holding out for a fantastic Cross Country Carnival.
Congratulations to all students for their participation, effort and behaviour on the day. It was so wonderful having the whole school community back together in one place.
A huge thank you to our parent helpers who assisted in many roles during the day, including ensuring students were safe on the course, cooking and delivering the delicious lunch orders, start and finish line and much more. Our carnival COULD NOT go ahead without your time and support, so THANK YOU.
Thanks also to all of our families who came along and supported their children - what a great feeling to have our community together as one again.
