look great too - we’re very

pleased with them. Thanks

again to McCormack Barber for

their financial assistance with

the gates.

Collecting children after

school

We are having a few movement

issues at home-time, which is

exacerbated by the security

fencing currently obscuring

part of the drive-way. Teachers

are having difficulty moving bus

students through the groups of

parents who are waiting around

the bell-post. Could you please

wait outside the craftroom, on

the hopscotch courts to meet

your children?

This will be greatly appreciated.
