Hi everyone
The Orchards construction team have advised us there will be a lot of large concrete trucks coming in and out of their site tomorrow morning before school. Please be aware of this if you are dropping children off on Reading Street.
We also advise parents that if your child/ren walk or cycle near this area to instead come via East Street to stay safe.
Thanks

Free Apples
Hi everyone
Today every child was given a bag of delicious apples from John (JR) Van Vliet from JR’s Orchards. The kids are loving them and will bring some home to share. If you would like another bag to take home simply pick up a bag outside the office area today.
A big thank you to John for his extremely kind donation!
