A wonderful week of community activities to reflect upon, and a look ahead to this Sunday's Family Picnic! See you on Sunday from 9.30am for a chance to bring our school community together, make new friends and have a fun filled family morning.

As this week has been witness to a number of exciting activities revolving around Book Week, I thought it would be appropriate to write about what are my favourite books and why I go back to them time and time again.
