Term 3, Weeks 1 & 2

 

Dear Parents, 

Welcome back to Week One of Term 3. I had a wonderful time with my grandchildren staying for the first week of the holidays. They enjoyed themselves in the Southwest and can’t wait until next holidays to enjoy another week in this beautiful part of the world.

It was wonderful to celebrate the wonderful Mr Lee, with you during the last week of school. Below is a photo of the birdbath Year 2 gifted Mr Lee. We wish Mr Lee a well-deserved rest, wonderful times with friends, safe travels and exciting adventures.
