The Grade 7s are running a FREE GAMES DAY for the students today. Each class will have a chance to participate (check out their video on the Parent Facebook Page for more info).
SATURDAY - HALLOWEEN - We wish all our students a safe and happy Halloween! Donations of extra Halloween candy will be gratefully accepted at the school next week. Candy donations will be given to the AGAPE Street Ministry (see November newsletter for more details).
