Last year the PTA purchased a concrete table tennis table that has proven to be a real hit with students during break times. The Youth Workers support a range of activities, wheels are set up twice a week and the chess set and playground are always popular. In wet weather the hall is set up for table tennis and shooting hoops.

If your child has missed a lesson please contact the office. Trumpet, keyboard and piano commence next week.
