John McGlashan College
Welcome to the new "revamped" version of the John McGlashan College newsletter.
I would like to thank staff and students for quickly coming on-board with the new system, and I think you'll agree this new format looks amazing and really highlights the wonderful things that are happening in and around our school.
Note that any school notices can be found at the bottom of this newsletter, under the feature articles.
Until the next edition,
Kind regards,
Kimberley Fridd, Editor
