NEW PLAYGROUND
Thank you very much PTA for the new Junior Adventure Playground. All of the junior children have been enjoying it to the max over the last two days. Older children have managed a turn outside of normal school time - they also think it is good. The PTA has raised over $10,000 for the playground through events such as the Garage Sale, selling food and drink at sports events, sausage sizzles, etc. A small group of people have done a lot of work and now all of our junior children are benefiting as a result - well done PTA.

There will be no Friday Sausage Sizzles this term.
