Welcome back to Term 2!
We trust that you have had a wonderful Easter break and enjoyed some much-deserved time to rest, relax and catch up with family and friends – Not to mention ate plenty of chocolate!
We look forward to a very exciting and short Term 2. There are many events that will be taking place this term in the Middle School, so be prepared as it is going to be a busy term.
