There has been much excitement in the school this week with the various events occurring such as a trip to Young People’s Theatre and the Ski Trip. Students also made a colourful statement in school colours, Green and Yellow, on Wednesday and then looked clean and bright in white for the Dance-a-Thon. We are all […]
