by Jennifer Horgan

Congratulations to Jasmine and Lachie who both competed in a Jiu Jitsu competition during the weekend. Jasmine won the gold medal in her division and won all her matches by submission. Lachie got 4th in his division which was quite an incredible feat, seeing as he was the littlest by far in that group!

As part of our EOTC programmes we are required to obtain parental consent for children to travel in a private vehicle to events.To refine this process and to avoid the necessity of having multiple forms to complete, the Board of Trustees has approved the use of one form to cover all transport in private vehicles. This form was sent home with children last week. Please sign and return by the end of term.
