January 31st, 2020

We had a great turnout for our Grandparents Day ceremony in school on Thursday, as part of our Catholic School’s Week celebrations. Grandparents mean so much to our children and we thank you all for the important influence you have on their lives. Each class sang songs, recited poems and shared some important messages for their Grannies and Grandads. Thanks to everyone who took time to share the celebrations with us!!
