House and Vice Captain Afternoon Tea

This week during our Junior Leadership Teams meetings, Miss Burton had prepared an afternoon tea to celebrate the leadership skills of our house and vice captains. We shared our favourite memories of the year, and our hopes for the future. It was lovely to hear them talk so positively about their Primary 7 experience and how they hope they have the same opportunities at high school.

A big thank you from Miss Burton for your leadership, support and laughs over the year, I really will miss you!
