Nelson Central School


Our last newsletter to wrap up an action packed Term 1. 

We want to extend a special thank you to our staff who have gone the extra mile this term, supporting and covering those who have been away for extended periods of time. Special mention particularly to Caroline, Rosa and Kim for the extra work you have done. 

Enjoy the holiday break everyone, stay safe and we will see you on April 29!
