By Lewis Polden -

 


During these very busy times at work, we all look to support each other whilst remembering to take care of ourselves. Have a great week.


Important dates - February into March



Important Docs

Actions

  • Send Lewis pictures for the Pulse by 11 am Thursday
  • Send in your POP Awards on Tuesday

Regarding 3WCs...

Please check your appointments. If you have double bookings, you may cancel one of them (it does not need to be Lewis doing this) - a good idea to check first with the parent which they would prefer to keep. 


Early years

KG1 & 2 always have so many bright and beautiful examples of student work on show...







Catch them being good...
