SCHOOL NEWS

Shop Day
Many thanks to all who supported our Shop Day held on Wednesday where over $700.00 was raised to support the Women’s Refuge. A thank you also to those who supported the day by sending along items for sale, and supplying the money for children to purchase them.The Seniors did a wonderful job organizing the activities which the students very much enjoyed. They also ran the White Elephant, Coin Trail and Cake Stall. A fabulous day was had by all as the sun shone; the activities were exciting and the goods for sale many and varied.
It is a credit to these children that they take on these responsibilities for those less fortunate and put their hearts and souls into making it the success it was.
