At last week's Home and School meeting we found out that an amazing $30,000 had been raised at our fair. This is more than has ever been raised at a fair before and reflects the time and effort that went into ensuring that the day was such a success. $20,000 has been allocated for upgrading Rooms 7 & 8 into an innovative learning environment and $5,000 for having Chat Bus for an extra day at school next year to cater for the increasing demand for a councillor. We are so grateful for these contributions.

Enjoy your week.
