Thank you to all our Volunteers during 2016.

We really appreciate your help.

·         On behalf of the Year 4/5 students, Kayla Freund and Simon Wundersitz would like to thank all volunteers who have given their time to support the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program either through the garden or kitchen. Your efforts are truly valued, for without your support the program  wouldn’t be as successful. Jump onto the ILSG website to see all of the recipes we have attempted this semester. We look forward with enthusiasm to continuing the program in 2017.

Season’s Greetings

·         As this is  our last Monday Update we take the opportunity to say thank you for your support of our school over this year. It’s been a busy and productive year and we have seen the many benefits that happen when ‘school and home’ work closely together.

·         We wish you all every blessing for the festive season and safe travels.

 

Holiday contact

·         The office will close on Tuesday 20th December and re open on Monday 23rd January 2017.  Should you need to contact the office in between a message can be left on the school answering machine which will be cleared reasonably frequently.
