Good afternoon.
A little reminder that it is sports day tomorrow-weather permitting and children in P1- P7 should come to school in their sports clothes. We hope to have lots of fun!

Galaday
Good Morning,
With the end of the school session fast approaching, the place is a hive of activity and excitement with still so much to do and look forward to.
I am also sure that final preparations are well underway for the annual Galaday event. A reminder that the theme for this year is ‘The Greatest Showman’.
Costumes can be purchased from Amazon and eBay for both children and adults although, I’m sure we will see some wonderful homemade creations!
