PARTNERSHIPS
Our school is very lucky to have great partnerships with our local community and parents.

The Walking Bus is back for 2018
The Walking Bus would not be possible without the organisation done by Mrs Daly! Thank you to all the parents who volunteer. Our partnership with our parents is a very important part of our school. We had 100 girls walking last Friday 19th, 2018 and the Golden Boot Award went to 4th class. Well done to everyone.
