Playgroup farewell
Thank you to Francie for your awesome contribution to playgroup
and always being a motivated organizer. Your infectious laugh will
be missed. Good luck to you and Bodhi. ☺
Sabine has now taken on the role of contact person for playgroup.
Come up to the school and join the fun on Playgroup day held
each Thursday from 9am – 11am except during school holidays.
Playgroup is a great way for children and parents to meet other
community members and a great introduction to the school
environment in our area.
