Congratulations to our teachers

It is with pleasure that we congratulate our teachers who have been recognised for their long service awards. Mrs Liz Bowen (3B) and Mrs Laurette Ostrom (2O) both received certificates (and mugs!) for their 30+ years of service at a NAPTOSA awards ceremony held on 19th May 2012.

Well done and heartfelt thanks from us all.

Grade 0s Grandparents Day

One of the highlights of their school year for our little Grade 0s is the day they get to show off for their Grandparents.  This year, that day was the 9th of March.

Mrs Van Wyk started off the day with an warm welcome to all.

 After a group singing session, it was time for each class to perform a number.

Once the entertainment was done, the children got to take their grandparents to their classroom to show them their work and enjoy some tea and eats together.

Proud moments for all.  Thank you to all those who travelled far to make this a wonderful day.  The kids really enjoyed it.
