Welcome back to term 3. 

Vacation School held in the school holidays was very successful.  I hope that everyone enjoyed their time with Miss Elissa Mrs P Miss Caroline and myself.  I know that we all worked very hard and I would like to thank those who gave up their precious holiday time to come and dance with us
