UPDATE: We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parents who have expressed a desire to be involved in our PTA but are unable to attend the AGM at this particularly busy time of year. In light of this, we have made the decision to postpone our Annual General Meeting, originally scheduled for Wednesday 4th June, until September. This will not only allow for greater participation but also provide an opportunity to warmly welcome the new Year 7 families who will be joining our school community in September.
