Open Day 2019 Next Friday is our annual Open Day. There are several themes for our day. Firstly as it is Book Week, we are following the theme of ‘Reading is my Secret Power’. Students are invited to create and wear a cape to represent a character from a book. Capes could show pictures, words or symbols from the story or about the character themselves. They could be made from fabric or paper. Capes should be worn over their uniforms. It is also Grandparents Day so we extend a warm welcome to all grandparents to attend Open Day as our special guests. We would love to have a photo display in our Old School showing our students with their grandparents. If you have a photo like this at home, please send in for us to copy so we can build our display.
